everything I can think of off the top of my head.

-NGK or Denso plugs I prefer NGK.
-Replace Distributor Cap and rotor
-Check/ Replace spark plug wires
-Replace Fuel filter
-Full seafoam treatment
-Oil Change
-coolant change if needed
-belt inspection/ change if needed
-Check AC coolant level
-Check break master cylinder/ clutch slave cylinder
-Check power steering fluid
-Check trans fluid check the diff's and transfer case

sparkplugs.com is a great place for DENSO & NGK OEM style plugs, wires, distributor caps, rotors, etc.

I like my Denso Iridium plugs.

Any autoparts store will have them, just be clear that you don't want Bosch - the Germans and Japanese don't get along so well since WWII LOL
