Re: Distributor noise?
I'm with you, the odds that it's distributor bearing are very
minimal as compared to a belt, especially a belt without slack adjuster
as the '96 XJ is: http://www.----------.com/serpenti.jpg Not even an
idler bearing would be coming up at eight years.

Re: Distributor noise?
May sound obvious but did you check belt Tension?
My CJ7 had the same sound, especially on a damp morning. I had to learn the
correct tension to make it happy.

Re: Distributor noise?
While is certainly is within the realm of possibility, a new belt runs about
$5, and a new distributor is going to be about $150. And, I drive an '81
that had the original distributor as recently as 2000, so I tend to discount
the distributor as the problem. (My distributor got replaced because I
installed a fuel injection system, and it required a different kind of
distributor, else I would still be using it.)
