97 It's all good
and if you didn't know what I was saying
TB spacers are a waste of time and money on the Mag
motors, 3.9's - 5.2's and 5.9's
They do nothing

But they are not cheap, Unless you're going to be
doing some racing clean yours up. (ports an
runners) remove any and all casting imperfections
& then gasket match it. This would save you some
$$$ and gain you a little power.
H.S. 1.7 roller rockers would be a nice gain
(20 - 25 hp if I remember correctly)
& cost less then the intakes

Jegs or Summit will have the best price.
My personal preference now is Jegs.
After doing biz with summit for over 12 years I
watched and experienced their customer service go
down hill.
As for the help, You're welcome

Short or bad ground
I can't remember what years exactly
but some Daks had issues with the dash ground
wire.
Check it (it's about all I can think of)
Under dash left of steering wheel.
If I remember correctly it would run from dash to
body right near or about the kick panel.
Note, This may not be your problem.
This is the only thing I know of too check.
See if any of the other guys check in with some
other advice.
