Just spent a little over 500 bucks at napa, but its runs (and stops) a lot better than it did a few weeks ago.

Got:
Cap
Rotor
Points
Condenser
Plugs
Plug wires
Brake Rotors
Brake Pads
Brake Drums
Brake Shoes
Alternator

It's all good.

I've been thinking about doing a write up of the things you should do when you buy a new LUV. Near the top on the list (if the stocker motor is going to be running you around for long) is cap, rotor, points, condensor, plugs, and wires. Just those little tidbits can make a huge difference in performance and cost you only $50 or so. (Drop the wires if the ones you have are still looking good and you are probably $20-30) On a truck where those parts have been left a long time, you can get more out of an ignition tuneup than you could dropping a weber and a header on it.

I really don't remember... I think at NAPA they were like 45 bucks apiece.

I also bought a new coil just for the hell of it. It was only about 30 bucks.
