The COIL wire was too short. Seems the premagnum era Dakotas with the
V8 had the coil located on the firewall behind the aircleaner... A mere 8"
from
the distributor. For the '92 and newer Magnum engines, the coil is located
on
the front passenger side of the engine... about 6" longer than the longest
spark
plug wire (and DON'T ask me to tell you the plug # because I don't
remember...
and don't feel like lifting my mercury filled hood to check the plug #!!
LOL )
