Hey guys... I was just wondering how often we should tune up the mustangs. When I got my car with 52,000 miles on it I replaced the plugs,wires,cap,rotoe and coil... The car now has 75,000 miles on it. Is it time to change everything out? Lemme know what you guys think about this.

You should be able get away with just changing the plugs and filters. Unless you live and or drive in harsh conditions, the cap, rotor, and wires should be ok.

Is it your daily driver? I only drive mine in the summer so I get about 7000 miles on it. I change the cap, rotor, and plugs every year. Wires every two. I'll be running nitrous this year, so I might change the plugs more often.
