Yep RC9YC5 or AutoLite 4925 plugs. Gotta keep them cool or bad things
happen quickly.
The nice thing about the I6 is the ignition wires are very short and
all about the same length (+- 3 inches or so)

Re: Ah, much better.
At roughly 982 million feet/second I'd guess that extra 2' of harness
isn't making all that much of a difference in the timing.
Unless, of course, you are going well beyond the manufacturer's
recommended max RPM.

Found out the answer to that. The harness has two purposes.
One is to move/separate and replace part of the original harness that
runs wires too close together. And the other is to include a resistor
pack that allows the use of a different coil that comes with the kit.
http://www.napaechlin.com/web_app/DY...ilFailJeep.pdf
Learned something else from that. The reason the original recall kit
was identical to the one I just got from NAPA is the original recall
kit came from NAPA. heh.

I try not to. Things run better with the parts inside the engine. :)
