Lance,
      If you mean which plugs you should look at, Autolite 3923's. Make
sure you check the plug gap and stick to the factory gap recommendations.
When you do remove the plugs (one at a time so you can't get the firing
order messed up) it might be a good idea to go ahead and pull off the heat
shields. They don't really protect the plug wiring but they sure do get in
the way when you are trying to get the plugs in and out. As far as other
little things even the mechanically challenged can do, go to
www.speedtweaks.net and look at the tips and tricks link, especially the
budget mods for V6/V8 and initial performance recommendations. Lots of good
info there on inexpensive and easy to do things to get more out of your
Dak. Get out the wrenches, prepare to get dirty, and have some fun.
