I placed this in other cause I wasn't really sure where it would fit in. Here's my dilemma.....
i need to know what parts I should get should I go old school or ramp it up with some higher end stock parts
I need plugs wires brakes and oil
what would y'all recommend for my 73 455 for the basic tune up but for quality include part numbers if you can please




thanks yall

Keep it basic Bill. You will be wasting money on the high end stuff. Use a good grade of oil with zinc in it (Valvoline Racing Oil is a good one) and a good oil filter like Wix or NAPA Gold. Price your plugs, wires, points and condenser at RockAuto. Be sure and check the shipping because it can offset the cheaper price.

As Glen suggested on the oil. Napa has good quality points and condenser, buy separate not the uniset. Some quality 7mm wires, new cap, and rotor. Plain old A/C, Autolite, or NGK spark plugs. Gap all the plugs, make sure you set your dwell first, and then set timing. Stock settings will work well.

Before buying a bunch of stuff for your brakes, do a thorough inspection and replace just the worn or leaking parts, again Napa brand parts will work well. When doing the fronts, clean and inspect your wheel bearings and races, repack with wheel bearing grease.

One thing you do need to buy for your brakes is new hoses for the front and the one for the rear. Trust us on this one.

This is some very cheap insurance,,, $35 hoses, $6 fluid.. Good advise.
