Car Miles

Rosco · 03-21-2002, 11:24 PM

Gotta question for everyone. I think it's been about...a year and a half since my cars had a tune-up. So i'm gonna do one as soon as I get money...Any Idea on anything that would be a good product to use? And is there anything else i should change other then spark plugs, plug wires, distrubutor cap and rotor? Also, my car has about 110k on it. Is there anything I should change if it hasn't already? thanks alot

I would highly reccomend MSD parts. thats what i used when i built the new engine and thats nearly all you see on hot rods and the such with high performance ignition. And even though its good stuff it shouldnt set you back too much. It cost me about 150CDN for cap rotor and 8.8 wires.

As far as other stuff goes im not really sure. Im lucky enough to be able to pull off all my emissions and i have an old carb setup. But the one thing you will probably want to change is the o2 sensors.

I found an article where they mentioned cleaning the injectors if they had not been cleaned for the last 30 k miles.
I’m not familiar on how to link the page to this message, so I pasted it below.

You also need to change the fuel filter, clean the IAC valve and TB with some carb cleaner and check the timing.
