That sounds like a good parts list for an ign. tune-up. You could get a set of 8MM wires online for about the same price as an OEM onda set from the stealership.

You must be about due for a valve adj. as well. The good thing is you may be able to reuse your valve cover gasket.

im planning to get a set of ngk blue wires, part # he-64, for $55 shipped. im guessing thats a pretty good price. as for the valve adjustment, i dont kno how to do that, read about it once, but looked kinda hard

is there something wrong with your ignition that you need to tune it up? there is absolutely nothing wrong with the stock ****. DO NOT buy the NGK blue wires. Complete waste of money. To see what I mean:

well, while changing my rotor and cap for the distributor today, i had to pop the wires off, anyways, they were all busted up, im amazed they still work.

im not getting the ngk's because theyre better or whatever, as stated before i jus need something cheap and that would work. i called the dealer and it was 59.99 special order. a guy off gbc had the ngk blue's for $55 shipped, so i got the cheaper one.

btw, autozone gave me the wrong cap and rotor, argh!!!!! time to get it form the dealer
