Mike, I havn't had an RF problems with the MSD's, but I did have a bad
experience with the moroso dividers... I currently have the Spectere
dividers from summit, mounted vertically to clear the headers, I would think
that they would work great with the stock manifolds.

I ordered mine for a '95 ram, but a mag 318 is a mag 318 is a mag 360 is a
mag 360 :-) key term being magnum :-)
