Installing plugs and wires
Got my NGK Iridium and Magnecore 8.5mm wires. Anything I need to know or special tools?
I have an '04 Stage 1 car. Thanks!

Nope. On a turbo '04 you don't have to remove anything (like intake).
Suggest a piece of hose to pull old plugs out and to start new plugs - unless you have a plug socket with the rubber inside to grip the insulation. The plugs are WAY DOWN in there. I also went with dielectric grease - a little on the ceramic & more on outside of plug boots to prevent sticking, and a dab of anti-seize on the plug threads. I went 'till snug on the threads, then quarter to 1/2 turn beyond that.

ALWAYS use antisieze on spark plug threads destined for an aluminum head. An ounce of prevention...[|)]

Go get a 5/8" plug socket with the universal joint attached at the top. It makes it really easy to get them in and out. And a 12" extension. And gap plugs at .031 to .038, Mopar reccomends .035.

My experience with the NGK Iridiums is that plug gap is not that important and I left mine at the factory setting and it works great.

And to think the dealer would charge you around $100 for that.
