Distributor cap and rotor button(inside the distributor cap). when you pull the distributor you might as well replace the internals of it as they are not expensive and while it is out its better to get it over with cause pulling it while on the truck is a pain in the a$$

 

Distributor cap and rotor button inside the cap.

 

i wonder if these were touched during the tune up? i'm gonna look these parts up online and get the prices, i guess i can always get the parts and hold onto them until i'm ready to do the project

 

good plan. might as well get your money's worth out of the teardown.

truegent, you need to go over to Rome and watch GD do his.
here's your pics.

during the tune up they should have been done, if they even bothered touching the internals of the distributor(most just change the wires and say they did everything). What i do when im coming up on a project like the plenum is go ahead and buy all my parts beforehand. may take some time but with the right research and the guys on the forums here you know you will have the right parts and everything will go better. The plenum fix is a very involved job for the beginner and needs to follow certain torque specifications when reinstalling. You need the right tools to do it right. Since you are in North Georgia pm me. Once i do my plenum i would be more than happy to help you out and tell you about my problems and get yours done too

 

i just realized you lived in north georgia. thats awesome if i could find some time to meet up with you. yeah, i don't have many tool sets, if you wanna call them that. i actually have a buddy that lives in dalton, goes to dalton state. anyway hopefully i can check under my hood tomorrow after the rain passes. i'll look at the kegger to see if there are any leaks (which i doubt it) and maybe order some parts on mopar.
