Default distributor cap and rotor

Can anyone tell me the best way to change the cap and rotor on a 1999 Dodge with a 5.9L? It's all the way on the firewall and I can't seem to reach it. The dealer wants $200 for a tune up and I know I can do it myself. Any recommendations?

yes, it's easy. pull off the intake tube, throw a blanket over the motor and lay on it... that way you'll be able to reach it pretty easily.

when your ready for wires, consider the MSD 8.5 superconductors... for plugs, either use the autolite 3923's (non-platnum) or the NGK's ZR5F-11
