You shouldn't worry to much 'bout it. You bought a Dodge. You bought the BEST! R.V.

I assume you installed the new distributor? Did you replace the cap and rotor? You can also try spraying the heck out of the inside of the distributor and cap/rotor with WD-40...it won't hurt anything and will diplace any moisture that's built up. You can also spray your spark plug wires and carefully check the coil and all wires going to and from it. It can also be sprayed with WD-40.

I agree wd40 can help alot in situations like this. If all the wires are good then moisture would be where I would suspect your problem is.
