so im planning to do a major tune up on the white girl and just wondering what else i should change out. my plans are to

1)flush and refill coolant
2)change spark plugs
3)spark plug wires?
4)clean air filter
5)sea foam

i heard i can use seafoam to loosen the spark plug wires if its a little tight? any recommendations? thanks!
