I have a 1965 Jeep CJ5 with the stock 4 cylinder engine.I want to set the timing. I am able to loosen the bolt that secures the distributor in place but am not able to rotate the distributor to set the timing. What is the trick I am missing to rotate the distributor?Thanks, Harley hmadden0319@gmail.com

Sounds like distributor is stuck in motor. Try to spray wd40 around the shaft of distributor.
