Good luck to you. If you're doing aftermarket then those units have their
own instructions. If you're doing Dodge, you'll have to get someone who has
a 99 FSM to copy the appropriate pages for you. I think you'll need a DRB
III tool too if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks for the info Ron. I think I could do it with some good intructions
and wiring diagrams.... A lot of Intrepid owners have installed the OHC
aftermarke ton my site (www.dodgertclub.com) and they say the worst part is
having to take the headliner down. Hoping it'll be similar for me to get
mine hooked up.
