I just changed my evap core in my 96 1500 318. I need to do the plenum job but not sure I am able to (mechanically speaking) I am not sure I can pull it and put it back without messing something up. how would y'all rank the job. I am fairly mechanically inclined but I am far from being a mechanic. Thanks for the help.

 

Helped a buddy do his few weeks back. Was the deepest I've gone into an engine before. Really wasn't too bad mechanics wise. I'd say hardest part was putting the manifold backin and not messing up the front and rear seals/ rest of the gaskets while setting it back in. Probably just need an extra set of hands for that part. It's got a lil bit of weight to it :P

 

did you have any problems with the distributor going back in or being out of whack once it back in? thats the only thing im worried about, used to be a chevy guy and when pulling those distributors i always had problems putting them back in and i hope the dodge doesnt do me this way

 

we only removed the cap/ wires...distributor stayed in.

edit: at least im pretty sure that was the case

 

Yeah, shouldn't need to remove the distributor for the job, IIRC.

 

the Plenum IMO is easy....you can do it, just be careful....ive heard alot of people say its hard, but its really not....you can get it done in one afternoon.
