Ram Gods Hear My Plee
I bought my 96 Ram 4x4 , about 3 months ago , love it ,,, but seemed to have a few gremlins , so I started the diagnostic , I was getting vaccume out of my valve cover so after reading up on it , decided to replace the intake manifold gaskets ( nightmare ) , in doing so , I found all my injectors were grey except for 1 , last one on the right was yellow .. is this a different injector ? or was this done for a reason ?
Also , is a the throttle body made by holley or is this aftermarket ? and is there suppose to be a gasket between the throttle body and intake ?
and what is the best plug and wire combo to use on a Dodge ? I should mention it is a 360 ( 5.9 ) magnum , any help and warning would be greatly welcome , thank you

i'd guess one went bad and was replaced. they're sort of expensive.

stock is holley.
is there suppose to be a gasket between the throttle body and intake ?
yes.
what is the best plug and wire combo to use on a Dodge ?
i think any premium set from your local autoparts store that carries the lifetime warranty is fine. they'll likely be 7 or 7.5mm and cost about $40.

Probably it was a replacement injector. The stock TB is a Holley. There is a gasket between the TB and the intake manifold.
The vacuum problem you're trying to fix is likely due to the plenum gasket on the bottom side of the intake manifold, not the two intake manifold gaskets that you replaced on the cylinder head.
Asking about plugs around here is like asking about the best flavor of Ice Cream.
I run NGK V-power plugs and they work well for me.
Any 8mm wire is good. If you want the absolute best wires that you should never need to replace, got with Magnecor wires, but you'll pay a pretty penny for them.
