To avoid confusion, remove and tag the spark plug wires one at a time, for replacement.
If a distributor is not keyed for installation with only one orientation, it could have been removed previously and rewired. The resultant wiring would hold the correct firing order, but could change the relative placement of the plug towers in relation to the engine. For this reason it is imperative that you label all wires before disconnecting any of them. Also, before removal, compare the current wiring with the accompanying illustrations. If the current wiring does not match, make notes to reflect how your engine is wired.

that shold be electronic timing. Unless teh timing belt has stretched the timing should be controlled by the ECM. This assumes I am correctly seeing that with the 4 cylinder that has a coil pack on it. If it has a coil pack there is no adjustment you can make to it. If it needs timed then it is because the timing belt needs replaced and if there is more than about 60,000 miles on that belt that is the most likely case.

Yes, on a 1996 Range Rover there is just a couple of bolts and the coil pack assy comes right off.
The cylinders are numbered on the coil pack. The 1996 has 1 coil pack for all the cylinders.
1999 -2002 has 2 coil packs which can also be replaced with everything still assembled but it is much more difficult and it can take a qualified technician upto 2 hours to replace them

I believe it is on the back side of the motor, below the intake manifold.

1996 Chevy Beretta 2.2 liter

Firing order 1-3-4-2

Cylinder # from passenger side to driver's side 1-2-3-4
Coil from firewall to radiator is 4-1-3-2

Good luck and keep me posted, Be glad to explain another way if i was a bit confusing.

just follow the plug wires, they plug into coil packs.

which two cylinders?

Your problem sounds like an intermittent short in the power feed to the coil pack from the EEC module
