Default Tune up!!

So yea I finally got the stang out and decided to do a tune up. Spark plug, wires, distributor cap + rotor, air filter, fuel filter, Amsoil full synthetic tranny fluid....anyways I went from a nice 3km per liter to 8km per liter....(roughly 20 mpg)

I love this car even more now

it sure does. I still plan to do a few other things as well. I tried looking for the PCV valve as well and I can't see it for the life of me.

Other things I plan on doing include:
-coolant flush with change of fluid
-power steering flush
-brake fluid flush and change to synthetic fluid
-rear differential gear oil
-O2 sensors
-all new brakes (calipers, rotors, pads, bearings)
-PCV valve

Anything else you guys think I should change please don't hesitate to mention

Pcv is in back of lower intake reach back there andyank it on out and pull the metal screen out too that sits under the pcv and spray it clean with brake or carb clean, Id make sure you change brake hoes when you change the calipers and fluid.
