Usually doesnt matter what brand name but AC Delco plugs are the best.

I usually do oil change, air filter, sparkplugs, wires (if bad), distrib. cap and rotor.

just get the store to list the brand names, if ones familiar.... take it lol.

seafoam the intake through the brake booster line!!!! that cat is probably already shot so smoke the hell out of it!!! cleans the intake up real nice. ppl say to use 1/3 of the can but I usually use 1/2 the can about twice a year. To clean the motor i would run a half quart of marvel mystery oil in the oil to the other 4 quarts of reg. oil. Check the oil weekly and change when dirty. To disperse moisture and clean injectors and such I would use b12 chemtool in the gas tank. These are the products i use personally on my 89 2.8 camaro with 165,000 and climbing.
