Get the 14" K&N FIPK (or just get a no name chrome base and the 14"
K&N filter)

As far as replacing the ignition components with mopar stuff, I would
use aftermarket items. Borg Warner, Accel, or even Napa has brass
distributor caps and rotors. I'm not sure if the mopar items are
brass or aluminum, I think they're aluminum. For wires I recommend
Taylor Spiro Pro's. About $50 for the cut to fit set. Check out my
webpage for info on the wires.
