Its all personal preferance as far as brands, but this is what I use...

1. Change the air filter, what brand? K & N

2. Oil, synthetic or no, what brand? Oil filter, what brand? plain old castrol GTX straight 30wt w/a fram suregrip oil filter...helps to tighten & remove the dern thing when your hands are covered in used oil... theres only 3 (correct me if im wrong) real manufacturers of oil filters , they sell the filters to other companies who put their names on them... fram makes their own

3. Plugs, what brand? Ive tried split fires & all the fancy 5.00 plugs ... didnt see much of a difference... I use plain ol champions

4. Wires, what brand? accel

5. New distrib cap and points? yes

manual or auto tranny? no engine flush unless the oil looked like black tar. checking the timing is always good...
