How many miles are on your car... i.e. is it time for preventative distributor rebuilds?
IMO, consider changing your lower valve cover gaskets before they start leaking.

Here's what I did with my 60k tune last year.
2. * Change spark plug wires-Beru
3. * Change air inject check valve (SAI check valve)
4. * Change both cabin air/pollen filters
5. * Change the engine air filter
6. * Change all 12 spark plugs (yea, esp. # 12 that, I know, is a PITA)
7. * Change both distributor caps
8. * Change both distributor rotors
9. * Change fuel filter
10. * Change engine oil (I will supply 10Q Mobil 1 - 15W50)
11. * Change large oil filter
12. * Change small oil filter
13. * Change A/C compressor drive belt
14. * Change Alternator drive belt (inner)
15. * Change Alternator drive belt (outer)
16. * Change power steering belt
17. * change ignation coil wire
18. Change manual transmission fluid. REDLINE
19. Bleed/flush the clutch hydraulic system
20. Bleed the brakes
Note The brake system was completely flushed less than 7 months ago so the
(ATE super blue)
21. Please perform all the (remaining) normal checks, lubrications etc. as
specified in the
60k service interval. In particular, please re-lubricate/check tolerances of
the manual
transmission gear-shift linkages/bushings etc.
22. Remove and Clean ISV
23. Replace front hood shocks
**THE UNEXPECTED**
-belt tension indicator-bearing was froze.
-Ignition coil-shot for the most part
-Distributor rebuild

Most part #s are on this link---pick your year/model, add to cart, there's most of your part #s. The pollen filters and belts arent in the kits.

car has 22K miles.
probably no need for distributor rebuild, though i do have a spare "slave distributor" drive belt waiting to be used.
Here's what I did with my 60k tune last year.

I'm buying a wire set from Mark Robinson of Austin Texas.
I highly recommend you consider contacting him if you need wires for ANY P car project.
