RE: tune up
Summitracing.com has that coil for $48.20 brand new. Of course you have a $11 handleing charge but still it's not much more for a brand new one from summit.
For the plugs I'd stay away from those Autolites. I put them in my truck and after a month or so it started running like it had a miss. I put the Champions back in my truck and like them a lot better.
For wires I also like MSD stuff. I have a set on there now that was for a non Magnum as I ordered the wrong set. The difference is the coil wire was too short and the other wires the ends that hooked on the dist were too big so I made them smaller with pliers and put them on. They seem tight but everyonce in a while one will come loose. MSD sent me a coil wire when I called them they told me to measure mine and then they sent me the correct length. I just happened to have ordered a set of the correct ones to hope it fixes that problem. I've had the others probably 30k miles or so. Not enough I'd normally change them but I am going to have the pleneum done eventually so I ordered the APS kit and then this stuff from Summit.

RE: tune up
thanks for all the info guys.. i def putting champion plugs in there cause i made the mistake of putting bosch in there before nd they were horrible.. i know champions work so yea.. for wires now im giong to do the taylors or msd, im going to look into those. and if theres no difference between the napa dist cap nd rotor or the summit other than color, i wanna get the summit just cause i think the blue will look cool (because we can see are distributors so good right?).. and does everybody just use regular napa fuel filters?
