Forget ignition coil.
They are all junk - just keep the stock and you'll have no issues.
I went through 3 brand name new coils each one took a dump after few months.
Stock coil never gave me any issues.

it easy, just turn the distributor so it is pointing to number one cylinder, and then line up the marks on the gears when you install them. Getting to it is the fun part, actually doing it is simple.

i know DV did timing chain. it would be awesome to do if you know how. only a couple of bolts after doing plenum. search for timing chain, should have some pics.


just wondering why you have intake bolts listed three times? is that just for bolts and no gasket from AZ? make sure to double check on the amount of fluids you will need to finish the job i.e coolant, oil, etc.

is ignition coil by accel just the distributor assembly?

dont forget lock tight... my plenum kit came with new instructions to use ultra copper gasket sealer for the plenum gaskit so you need that as well.

i didnt take off my injectors or the throttle body so unless you just want new gaskits for that ok but you dont have to take them off

you might want to make sure you have a torque wrench you need to torque them 3 times 24/48/86 INCH lbs of torque... i say INCH because i snapped a bolt into the hole of my intake trying to torque them down to FOOT lbs of torque lol wasted a whole day trying to get it back out

good luck its not that hard a job.. i got mine from abs cant compare but it was a good product

so i was about to purchase a new water pump from moparonlineparts.com but ive noticed on some parts it states "w 8.0L" or "w/o 8.0L". what is the 8.0L they are talking about? i think it is the v10 but on some parts the only option is 8.0L...just double checking before i order it.

for example: why would a termostat housing for a ram with a 8.0l be $100 but w/o a 8.0L it is $6? TIA
