I am doing the following this weekend, this is my first tune-up since buying the car a couple weeks ago. It has 178000+ miles. Please let me know if there is anything else I should watch out for, I am driving it to IL this Thanksgiving (700miles one way) and back.

1) Change Tranny Oil, Engine Oil, Rear End Fluid
2) Convert to K&N Filter and assembly.
3) Change plugs and wires (any brand suggestions?) (gap?)
4) Check timing (is it totally computer controlled, or can I adjust it)
5) Possibly change waterpump (since to trip is so long)
6) Replace Tranny mount with Polymount
7) Re-tighten exhaust manifold bolts (slight exhaust ticking)

That should do it! Please any suggestions will only help, thanks

when changing the tranny fluid be VERY VERY CLEAN.
the plug i just use ac delco and they work just fine
when purchasing plugs ask for gap
wires don't cheap out here maybe some AURORA WIRES if you can get them thay are made in bc canada.TAYLOR MAKES A 10mm
wire
when changing diff fluid find out if its a limited slip and if it is find out if you need an addative
if you cant get the plugs from on top try under the car
GOOD LUCK
