^^ Thanks guys. Went with Street Side.

 

So Noob question of the day... What is a plenum and what does it do.

 

read the sticky on top of the thread list.


Oh, and btw. If I go off your name, since you have not added ANY info about your truck. I just realized you MIGHT have a V10. If that's the case, forget the plenum issue, because v10's don't have the problem. However, I suggest you read the 2 stickies below it.

 

I am looking at MSD Ignition wires, rotor and cap. Cap and rotor have brass contacts (no aluminum), and wires are 8.5 mm. Anyone have any experience with MSD? Good - Bad?

thanks.

 

Reasonable quality, but, overpriced.

 

Disclaimer: Silly Question I bet.

How often to change cap/rotor/wires? I would guess differently from plugs and this is really based on nominal operation. (sheepish as I just found that I had all this done 2.5 years ago for 90K service).

The gibs are welcome. :P


Edit: something like 40K I've seen around

 

You should get a Haynes manual, there is a full maintenance schedule in it.
