    I'd like to do a tune-up on the CJ (304 V8) and I need to know what components make up a tune-up?

    I've recently changed the following:

    Oil
    Air Filter (K&N 14" X-Stream)

    What else needs done, I'm guessing the following:

    Wires (They look new.....having said that I bought the Jeep 3 yrs ago)
    Plugs (What plugs do you recommend, what gapping as well)
    Distributor

    Is there anything else I'm missing? Also, what brand do you recommend.....or what upgrades would you recommend if replacing these parts?

    Do you have electronic ignition? If not...
    Plugs, points, condenser, cap, rotor, fuel filter, PCV valve...
    Not sure what year your Jeep is..If you do have electronic ignition, you want everything but the points & condenser...
