yeah, most people don't. I know I'd never consider putting one in
either of my trucks - I've got very little reason to. I just know the
Dakota should run right with EFI and that the RamCharger runs richer
than all everything and I should fix that =)

If it's not pinging, it's probably not lean, so I doubt fuel pressure
will be the culprit.

Well..... my FSM says nothing about any post-install adjustment of
timing, so the computer must take care of all that. Were your timing
marks lined up perfectly during install? Is your distributer still
indexed properly (#1 to TDC, rotor should point to #1 wire)? Having
never touched these parts of a Magnum (or anything with more than two
cylinders, or two strokes, for that matter) I'm just reasoning this out
- I've got no experience to go on.
Good luck!
