+1 Sharps!

Well I don't care what ANYONE says, replace the spark plugs with CHAMPION COPPER CORE PLUGS ONLY!


These are the OEM plugs and the motor was built around then and to run them PERIOD! Gap em at .040 then come back if you still have a problem.

Ya thats what I did.. So last night I noticed a couple wires are arc'n. If you stand at the front of the motor looking in there are 3 wires that run around the backside of the tranny filler tube very tightly. And thats were they are lighting up... So anyone have diagram or thoughts on best way to run the plug wires, and I assume this could be causing my misfire.

Just route the wires off the engine block. You can get separators that look great and they hold the wires together but apart.


Make sure you get OEM or Mopar Performance wires at your local dealer or go MSD 8.5mm Red wires from here: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MSD-32189/

Look about half way down under "Tune Up": https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen...wers-faqs.html

Havent been able to post a update since I was in process of moving and got to busy. But here it is for others who might be having the same problem, My #3 plug wire was pretty bad from end to end with corrousion. I replaced all the wires, plugs, cap, rotor and the missing issues are gone.

thanks for help.
