Brass terminals for cap and rotor, that's the rule of thumb I live by. Have to change it more often, but that's ok. I've tried all sorts of brands (Napa house brand, Summit Brand, MSD, Accel), and they all seem to be the same, so I usually go with the Napa one because I think it seals better then others i've tried. For wires, I run the Mopar Performance 7.5mm wires, and am very happy with them. Anything larger then 8mm doesn't fit in the stock wire looms if I recall correctly. Plus that is unnecessary overkill IMO anyway.

If you must :P lol. The only real consensus again is to go with brass terminals. I just swapped my summit cap thats has been on for two years, this past august for a 5 year warranty brass terminal duralast cap when I did my plenum. I went from stock wires, to mopar performance (seemed short for me), then to taylor wires. Ever notice a difference? not really at all.

The one question you dare not ask purpldodge is if you should use an accel coil I've had good luck with mine. A buddy runs msd. Another runs accel with summits muli spark box, and another runs the stocker. They all seem to work fine.

Bottom line, your free to choose what plug / cap / wire / coil combo you want. Only guidelines are copper plugs, and brass terminals are suggested, but don't have to be followed.
