Dodge Ramcharger Distributor
The Distributor of Dodge Ramcharger vehicles has significant contributions towards control of ignition by connecting high voltage current from the ignition coil to the spark plugs in the appropriate sequence. Until the mid90's, Dodge Ramcharger models used mechanical distributors with breaker points, these are notorious for having wear components that need to be replaced periodically. These early distributors also incorporated centrifugal and vacuum advance systems to employ proper spark timing depending on the conditions inside the engine. Recent changes in the Dodge Ramcharger vehicles saw the distributors being changed to electronic types with the mechanical part being substituted with a Hall Effect sensor for better performance and durability. It shifted to let more unleaded in at the correct time and less at the wrong time and also eliminated the need for constant adjustments. Although today's cars have shifted to absence of distributor ignition system, the Ramcharger's distributors have evolved along the years and provide possibilities of improving the electrical features of the vehicle such as dual points and an Electronic Ignition Unit.

Dodge Ramcharger Distributor Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How do you remove and reinstall the distributor on Dodge Ramcharger?A:If your vehicle is equipped with a V8 engine, remove the air cleaner assembly and cover the carburetor opening with a clean rag. Position the number one piston at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke by detaching each spark plug wire and removing all spark plugs from the engine. Locate the number one cylinder spark plug wire, trace it back to the distributor, mark the distributor body below the terminal for the number one spark plug wire, then remove the cap and wires from the distributor. Use a wrench or socket on the large bolt at the front of the crankshaft and turn it clockwise until the groove in the crankshaft pulley aligns with the O (zero) on the timing mark tag, ensuring the rotor points at the mark on the distributor body; if not, turn the crankshaft one more complete revolution. Disconnect the hose from the distributor vacuum advance unit if applicable and unplug the distributor wiring harness connector(s). Scribe a line on the distributor body and make a corresponding mark on the engine block, then remove the hold-down bolt and clamp to carefully lift out the distributor, using an oil filter wrench if it is stuck. Do not crank the engine until the distributor is reinstalled, ensuring the O-ring on the lower part of the distributor body is in good condition. To install the distributor, align the mating marks and slide it into place, possibly moving the shaft back-and-forth to engage the gear, ensuring the rotor points at the mark on the distributor. Install the clamp and bolt finger tight, replace the spark plugs, and install the plug wires. Finally, install the distributor cap and connect the wires and vacuum hose, then check the ignition timing.
