Help with Tune Up
Hello Everyone,
I am wanting to do a tune up on my 1971 Dodge Charger SE 383 6.3L. However, not sure what kind of spark plugs or wires to get. Can anyone recommend? All original. Thanks! |
Are you going for a stock look or performance? I like Champion plugs cause they're made in the US, but any name brand plug is fine. I use black 8.5mm MSD wires, universal set and then I cut them to fit.
|
Just buy good parts....
Service And Safety inspection every 3,000 miles And Major Service & Tune up every 20,000 Handle the little things in-between... And Things will be great :):) |
Stick with conventional Champion, autolite, NGK, none of the Bosch platium and such.
Good quality wire! Do you have headers ? Wire routing is critical if you don't want to burn plug wires |
Thanks for all the responses!
Would like to go performance route for plugs and planning on getting MSD wires. No headers. |
Thoughts on Mallory Pro sidewinder wires?
|
Mallory makes good stuff also..

the msd kit where you make your own wires is what I use currently. I love that I got to choose length and could add in a few "wire clips" to hold them in place where I want them to be.
DO NOT BUY E3 spark plugs. I wasted my money on them. they were awful. Especially seeing as they were about $40 more for the set. |

The best bang for the buck on a mild engine is Belden plug wires from Napa
|
I also like Accel Super Stock 8MM Wires,,

I've never tried them. Were they awful because they were expensive and no better than the rest?
Just my experience. :) |
Hummmm..... I have the worst luck with Champions...
