I believe the duralast gold cap and rotor kit has brass contacts.

I love their damn warranties... last tune up just cost me plugs. Rest was free >.<

These wires are the premium ones from Advanced Auto and only lasted 21 months. I'll pay for good ones this time. And I used dielectric grease. I will grab the plugs from Auto Zone though.

Taylor's won't ship until the 21st so I'm going to get the Accel kit since it's on Amazon Prime and free 2 day shipping.

Does anyone have a problem with Accel's tune up kit?

When I did my tune up last week I go the Mopar tune up kit through my dealership.

Cap, rotor, wires, and spark plugs, I also got an air filter too.

The kit uses SS contact springs, the cap has brass contacts.

Since I wanted this thing up and running before Saturday I decided to get Mopar SPC40604AA IGNITION SPC40604AA 1 41.39 from the dealer. I know there are better wires out there but I got a discount by using the Fort Meade Auto Shop discount. I'll pick up the plugs tonight from Auto Zone.
