Help, I need help in doing a major tune up. I have someone that will be doing the tune up, but I need to buy the parts first. What parts do I need for a 1993 Lx ? Any help is appreciated.

Distributor cap,spark plug wires,rotor,spark plugs,fuel filter,pcv valve.Set timing at 14 degrees for best power.Make sure you remove the SPOUT connector when setting timing.Its a small gray plug in the distributor wiring harness,right by the distributor.Turn off engine,take it out,restart engine,set timing,turn engine back off,put SPOUT connector back in.Restart.That should be a decent tune up.Also i would add a 180 degree thermostat,or a 160.Although some people would say not to use a 160,i do and have no problems.Cooler engine=more power.
