1. The dealer will charge by the hour whatever their going rate is. Probably about 1 1/2 to 2 hours for the labor. Some dealers won't use customer parts, others will, but they won't give you any garrantee if something goes wrong with the parts.

2. If you've never changed either plugs or wires, change both at the same time. Ignition parts are the weak link in the system and if your paying for the labor, might as well do both. Leave the coil alone. It does a good job and no-one has reported problems with the stock coil.

3. "Stylish" wires are a waste of money...you can't see them anyway under the upper manifold.

4. Live Wires, Crane or MOPAR Performance (what I use) are all good and 100 times better than the stock wires that came on the PT.

5. 8 or 8.5 wires aren't needed on the stock PT. Won't hurt but if they cost more, your wasting your money. 7 or 7.5 will do fine for what is needed.
