I have a 77 Newport with a 400 four barrel. I have a couple maintenance related questions. The lean burn has been replaced / bypassed with the Mopar ignition control module box (ECU).

Could you please let me know what new part numbers or requirements are for each of the following items?

Ignition timing
spark plug gap
distributor
rotor
cap
coil
spark plug wires
spark plugs
 
(Same question, twice in one day?)
 
I was told to post it in the specific chat by a family member. He said I'd get more replies? I just did what he told me
 
A lot of your questions are dependent on the equipment that is installed.
Cap, rotor, coil and plug wires are dependent on the distributor. if you are running the normal MoPar non lean burn distributor, the part numbers are the same as LB.
plugs are same as LB, gap .035. timing, start at 38° total with vacuum advance disconnected or 10° initial.
I put 95 main jets in my parent's 78 Cordoba 400 4bbl it ran much better (I still had the LB ignition) with the 2.45 gears, it got 19MPG at 85 to 90 MPH!
