Default ignition parts

I'm the original owner of a 97 1500 with a 360 and the truck has 155,000 miles. All regular maintenance has been done as scheduled except for ignition components (plug wires/caps, distributor cap and rotor).Would you guys change these outeven though thetruck seems to run fine?

I would change them all. Get some good copper plugs, OE champions are good, and cap with brass terminals. I had to change mine at 80k. It started misfiring to the point of dropping a cyl when it rained out.

Spark plugs I've actually changed twice but I was referrring to the wires and distributor cap and rotor. They're all original.

i did a full tune up not to long ago and i reccomend doing it because even if you dont notice it running a little slugish doesnt mean its not... i went with champion copper plugs not even 2 bucks a piece NAPA cap and rotor about 15 bucks and then with wires just get a good quality wire around 8mm...
