gonna change my plugs and wires any recommendations

donjohnk · Jan 29, 2011

looking to do some maintenance... what would you guys recommend for plugs and wires.

glass3222 · Jan 29, 2011

For plugs, Champion #570, copper core. They are cheap and hemi's seem to like them best.

When i changed the plugs I took the front wheels and liners off and I found that it was very easy to get to every plug

i have to replace mine as well. what about the wires? shorties? 8.5 mm? i read in a magazine a few years back that it you increased the plug gap, i think to .42 dont quote me, that you would get better fule mileage, true? ill pull the wheel liners sine i need to replace those as well.

when did they start using the individual coil packs? i have em, but just curious when they started.

OklaHemi · Jan 30, 2011

i 03 in the hemi's i believe.

bigtigga84 · Jan 30, 2011

do older ones use traditional plug wires to the coil packs? mine have wire harnesses on them. no distributor, got an 03 im probably gonna be working on(cousin bought one) and i just wanna make sure i got my story straight. i've been trying to get her on here, but she has three kids ect. so hasn't had time or somethin lol

OklaHemi · Jan 30, 2011

the hemis will have 16 plugs and one plug will connect to a coil on the other side and they fire at the same time. when moes was good you could get a set of plugs and wores for around 80 shipped. let me check out 3rdstrike... and i have 3 kids tell her to turn on yo gabba gabba and ignore them... i joke i joke

bigtigga84 · Jan 30, 2011

man that show freaks me out lol. what im getting at with the wires question is there are no wires for me to change. i have to change the whole coil pack. didn't know the earlier hemi's were different

OklaHemi · Jan 30, 2011

i belive that is how the 6.1 hemis are...
