Hey Men,
Going with a full tune up of the engine. I have already replaced:
1.Plugs
2.Wires
3.Distributer Cap and Rotor
4.Air Filter=Cool Air Intake
5.Oxygen Sensor
6.Ground Wires
Is there anything else that yall can think of that i could replace just to tune up my car?

How does your coolant and brake fluid look? Do you know when the fuel filter was replaced last? How do your brake pads and shoes look?

Does anyone even bother checking the valve clearance anymore? I have faithfully done so but have not really ever had to adjust them.

Good suggestion. You actually just reminded me to adjust mine. I forgot to after 500 miles with my new camshaft.

because it's not an easy thing for a lot of people ! :) so we don't tell anyone to do it unless he has bad performance , ticking valves, bad gas milage !

vacuum lines, you can swap them out for silacone, they last longer and you can get them in diferent colors

Ticking valves might indicate loose valves.
3G valves generally do not get looser. They get tighter over time.

To tell you the truth I need to replace my fuel filter, but my brake shoes and pads are new. But thanks for yall's thoughts.
