Check your coil with an inline spark tester. If no spark to the distributor check for power to the coil. If power to the coil but no spark then coil is bad. If coil is sparking the problem is in the distributor. If no power to the coil trace back the wiring to the power source (battery voltage) Check the points to make sure they're gaped properly & not burned or corroded. Check cap & rotor while you're in there also. while the cap is off turn it over and check to see if the rotor (shaft) is turning.
8mm suppression wires at a minimum.
Try Auto Zone.com I have overstayed my welcome there.
My old Chilton repair manual shows for the American Motors Corporation V8 engines : Firewall 8 - 7 6 - 5 4 - 3 2 - 1 FRONT The distributor rotor turns CLOCKWISE ( distributor is at front of engine ) The spark plug firing order is ( 1 - 8 - 4 - 3 - 6 - 5 - 7 - 2 )

While the AMC 3.8 L inline 6 was the standard power, a 5L (304) V8 was on the options list.
Actually, in 1991 AMC/Eagle had a production cutoff where the early 1991s had a regular distributor, and the late 1991 models had the distributorless ignition system. Another source indicates that only the Canadian models had the regular distributor type system. So... depending on whether you have the distributor type or distributorless type, the firing order would be: Distributor type system: 1-6-3-5-2-4 (distributor rotation is CLOCKWISE) Distributorless system: 1-2-3-4-5-6
Firing order on a 350 Chevrolet is 18436572
Not from the AMC factory... the stock Jeep V8 option was the 304.
