Pick up you're muscle mustangs and fast fords magazine. Look for McCarville ford's ad. Last tune up I bought from them came with 9mm fms wires, cap w/brass terminals and rotor, pcv, fuel filter, plugs and maybe a few more pieces. It was $100 shipped, wich is a great price. o2 sensors are a tune up item imho, I would change them if it's been a while. Air filter too. Have fun.

O2 sensors help the computer get the right amount of fuel for cruse conditions. When they go bad, you gas mileage goes in the toilet.

Here's the link to dump the computer codes with only a jumper wire or paper clip and the check engine light, or test light or voltmeter. I’ve used it for years, and it works great.

new fluids, tranny fliter if auto, oil change, oil filter, cap, rotor, plugs, wires, air filter fuel filter, pretty much cheap stuff that while your hands are dirty you might as well do it all, things taht wont make your car not run, but make it run bad if old.

Major tune up.. i'd say change the oil with a new filter as well.

If you havn't done so in a long time, a tranny oil change couldn't hurt right (for auto's, t5's would be a bitch)? I don't know much about trannies but it makes sense.
