Default Ignition refreshment (aka tune-up). What should I get?

I know I'll be doing:

> Spark plugs.
> Plug wires.
> Rotor.

Do I order a distributor cap?
New coil?
Other wires?
Any "while you're at it" tasks?

FYI, it's preventive maintenance (21 y/o car, but only 70K miles), so I'm not trying to fix anything.

I'd get the cap while you're doing it. Lindsey Racing has a nice tune up kit. And maybe replace some of the old vacuum lines, they have a nice kit for that too. I'd also replace the o2 sensor while you're at it if it has never been replaced before.

Sorry, no Slummit this weekend. I'll be at VIR the following weekend with the Audi Club. Don't tear up the pavement too badly.
