I'll assume that since you only got 8 spark plugs you dont have a HEMI. But other than that very nice. I'm hoping to switch over to RP one of these days.

If you have a HEMI make sure you get 16 plugs. 2 per cylinder.

Just keep in mind the Hemi takes 7 quarts of oil.

Advice on doing the plugs for the Hemi? Yeah be sure to pack a lunch! It can be a little more time consuming and agravating due to the location of the back sets. Be sure to have 2 - 2 1.5" socket extensions so you can feed them down sectionaly to get the plugs. Also wear gloves or you'll be missing some serious knuckle skin by the end of the day. Lastly invite a friend over and buy a six pack. Good luck!

Nice! I spent all day yesterday converting the air ride on my dad's Navigator to coils and coilovers. Also changed the muffler and rear shocks. Had about nine hours in the job.
I serviced my '02way 1500 last week. I do need to change the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor though.
