Hey jason52 you prolly were refering to the brass contact cap and rotor sold at napa under the echlin name, you prolly don't need a coil as per your message but if you do, just ask for it at napa as well, also the cap and rotor are located together behind the throttle body assembly, you have to remove your air hat to get at it, also if you do it yourself don't forget to make a diagram of the plug wire order, once the cap is off you will see the rotor, just pull it off, i paid 15 beans for my cap and like 5 beans for the rotor at napa, as far as the wires go you could go with anything really but not thicker than 7.5mm or you will have to modifie the wire looms, a good choice of wires are bosch wires, champion wires, accel wires, taylor wires, and msd wires, if you don't have an aftermarket ignition set up then the msd and taylor wires are not really needed for a stock set up, usually around 20-60 beans for wires, well good luck and if you have any other questions just ask.

Just go with the OEM parts from Dodge. Most of the aftermarket stuff is crap and brass contacts degrade really fast. Like in about 5000 miles.

hmmm: what makes you such an authority on brass contact wear, i have had my brass contact cap and rotor on my truck for the last 20,000 miles and they are still in good shape! like i have said before just because it didn't work for you doesn't mean that it won't work for anybody else.
Jason52, don't take our word for it choose what you want for parts, just because people on this site rave about them doesn't mean that it will work on your set up, i on the other hand tend to listen to what people on this site recommend, because i have had no problems so far.

I find that aluminum contacts degrade faster.
