Umm... just for your info that is not a major tune up.... A major tune up includes air filter, fuel filter(s), compression check, oil pressure check, radiator flush, tranny flush, oil change (new filter too), and so on. Most people don't know what an actual tune up should consist of, but there's nothing wrong with doing little stuff to your car. You should probably upgrade your ignition coil to either an Accel or MSD coil.

i did all o that except for the comp and oil pressure check. i have minor knowledge in automotive stuff so if its ok what else you need to consider when you do the ignition coil upgrade?

Well you can either buy the Accel Superstock Coil (universal) in either chrome or yellow, or you can get the Accel HEI universal coil, or you can get an MSD system or just a coil. There's a how to on doing to coil upgrade.
