The stock champion plugs, or the champion truck plugs are probably the best.
I got champion iridium plugs cause I like having space metal in my truck lol...

I hear good things about E3's as well, but I wouldn't put anything but champions in a dodge personally.

he's wanting a colder plug. the stock champions are ry12c or something like that and if you get the ry11c they are one heat range colder just like the autolite 3923's. you don't want to go too cold though (ry9c) because then you will have a fouling problem. too hot leads to pre ignition and detonation and too cold leads to fouling and mis fires.

visually inspect your wires for cracking and check both ends to make sure they still click on the plugs and distributer nice and tight. also run it at night with the hood light unplugged to see if there are any sparks coming off them. if not then i'd say they're probably good.
