so i ordered a bunch of stuff from summit .... wacha guys think of this tune up set up ???
did i miss anything ? anyone like to add to this list lol

ford motorcraft fuel filter
autolite 25 plugs
msd 8.5 wires
msd cap -rotor
msd coil

 

run some seafoam through the car too.

get your alternator and battery tested.

maybe your transmission and rearend flushed.

 

+1 seafoam BEFORE new plugs

 

...list looks good...what about some new fluids for the trans & rear!?

 

yeah i was gonna order the rear and tranny fluid next that will be royal purple also .. do you guys happen to know what types and how much i need .. im just stockin up now so ill have everything i need when the weather gets better ...

ive never heard of this seafoam stuff till i came to this forum .. all i know about it is what ive read some people say not to use it, some say to use it lol i still have no idea what it is or what it does haha

 

ive used sea foam in almost every vehicle ive owned, no issues.


follow the directions and you will be FINE!



in my opinion, royal purple is over kill.

i approve of running synthetics.... but "SUPER" synthetics seem a bit much to me.

i run Mobil 1 synthetic in the engine, regular ATF in the trans, and regular in the rear with friction modifier.

 

.. yeah i wouldnt do it with the tranny and rear but the previous owner told me he switched everything over .. the engine runs like its new less than 34 k never had one problem with it . i dont think she needs more than a basic tune but what does this seafoam actually do

 

if its a 5 speed royal purple synchro max is good stuff, it holds 2.7 quarts so you will need 3 quarts of it. The rear end 2 quarts and a bottle of friction modifier if i remember correctly, but most synthetic oils have friction modifiers in it.

 

eh, id never use synthetic until at least 50k miles...... things not even broke in yet!


car looks great!
whats all done to it?

 

With Royal Purple you do not need the friction modifer for the rear, 75w90....I would run Mobil 1 syn. ATF with your trans....
