Default Full 5.0 Tune Up.

Alrighty guys. I just got some $$$$$$ in and I think its about time we do a HUGE full tune up.

Lets see what we can find here at my local autozone.

msd distributor cap and rotor 24.00
http://www.autozone.com/R,APP1376606...ductDetail.htm

8 autolite 25 spark plugs 13.00
http://www.autozone.com/R,APP45734/v...ductDetail.htm

Fuel Filter 8.00
http://www.autozone.com/R,APP709957/...ductDetail.htm

Air Filter 55.00
http://www.autozone.com/R,APP8592/ve...ductDetail.htm

192Degree Tstat 11.00
http://www.autozone.com/R,APP82816/v...ductDetail.htm

MSD Wires 81.00
http://www.autozone.com/R,APP1234854...ductDetail.htm

And I recently just changed my o2 sensors, well like a year ago, but i havent put a lot of miles on them since, do you think they need to be changed? Also, I JUST changed the TFI module, so thats good to go.

And ofcourse i already did the oil/oil filter. Is there anything else im missing or forgetting to add on?

Also, does anyone know where i can get 8 injectors 24lbers from a store thats not gonna charge over 500 dollars like autozone thats in iowa/illinois? Let me know thanks.

Any Mustang Catolag sells 24#'s for around $250. Why not 180 thermostat

hey just run motorsport wires theyre cheaper than msd and taylor
try summit racing on your injectors and jegs on your wires
hit up the local junkyards for a 351 fuel injected windsor i know the roller blocks had blue top injectors from ford those are 24S right they are just one call away
i dont know where you live but try a u wrench it or a pick n pull
hope this helps
try the msd tfi coil its 40.?? something at advance auto

ya i think i will go with the 180tstat, is there anything else anyone can think of?

edit: also, by the way, all of this needs to be at AUTOZONE specifically, because thats all ive got out here sooooo ya.

Other then that, theres not much i can tell ya guys, i just want a really good performing running car. Thanks.

locusgas additive, use royal purple oil, K&N air filter, platnum plugs, 8mm wires, high octane gas, and wax your car that makes it faster

dont get platnum plugs. regular copper autolites run better in our cars than platnums, so you'd just be waisting your money.
and im pretty sure for a street car, a nicely waxed car wont run any faster than a clean one. thats just at the track and i believe it takes off like .01 of a second or something.
