8V Tune up Part Questions

[scirocco at prexar.com (John C. Worden)]

Since you don't have a high powered or hot rodded motor
I would just get the standard Bosch Supers.  As for dist.
cap and rotor I would also go with Bosch.  And as for plug
wires I would have to ask "Are they bad?"  If they check
good I wouldn't touch them.  Wires last a long time now a days,
not like they used to.  In the end you are only driving 476
miles, which is nothing, a short trip.  This is of course, my opinion
and there are surely others who will have others answers.
