Re: tune up

DO NOT BUY THE $50 ACCEL PAPERWEIGHT COIL... Enough said.

Any cap and rotor would be fine (there really isn't much in the way of choices). The MSD Blaster coil is actually the coil recommended by the people who designed our ignition systems, and get whatever coil you get as far away from the exhaust as the wiring will allow.

Factory plugs are Delco R43TSK's... Replace them with the same as you can't do any better and only worse.

When I said to get the coil away from the exhaust, I meant off of the bracket, period. The bracket is bolted to the exhaust port portion of the cylinder head, which gets hot. The cooler you can keep the coil the longer it will last.
