I just ordered new ingnition wires, plugs, distributor and rotor. I went with Bosch. Are there any parts I'm overlooking?

Waste of money usually. They never die.Quote:
ingnition wires,
But no worry, you do not have a V12, where the system costs >400 $ with cylinder identification sensor.
Dielectric Compound/Grease; Distributor Cam Grease?
How about ALL rubber parts in the intake system, they leak and get hard like stone.
More like $500.00 AUD from the stealers over here!Quote:

It sounds like the rubber parts in the intake system may be another project. Thanks Shogun.

Well, as you see, the list goes on... :)
they never die? sorry, but I feel the need to correct this ;) I drove from Philly to Baltimore for a BMW get together a few years back. Got down to Baltimore, started to drive around a bit, all the sudden I have no power. Turn off car, try to recrank, it won't get a spark. My lead wire fried out, as in, pulled it out and it was DUST. So they DO die, at least on me!
