I was just wondering if any of you could tell me what you use when tuning up your cars(plugs,wires,rotos,caps,belts?) I am just interested what brands you all have used and what you had the best luck with. I am tuning my baby tomorrow and just would like some advice. thanks

Here's what I use:
Sparkplugs = Splitfire originals (not platinum)
Plug wires = MSD 8.5mm universal cut/crimp set
cap & rotor = Accel, but next tuneup will be Borg-Warner or AC/Delco
PCV Valve = Purolator
Oil Filter = Purolator
Oil = Valvoline 10w30 (4.5 quarts)
Fuel Filter = AC or Purolator
Air filter = K&N
Belts = whatever, current is (I think) Dayco?
Trans fluid = Castrol
Trans filter = Purolator
Rear Axle Fluid = Valvoline 85w140 (stinks!)

[very late edit] Hey I was doing a search, and found this old message- I was wrong on my rear fluid viscocity. I've been using Valvoline 80W90, not 85w140.
