hey guys, im new to the forum! and i just got a 1993 f150 xl, 4x4, its the i6 300 with the 5 speed transmission. im looking to do a basic tune up because i need to smog it, and i also need a new exhaust. any ideas for exhaust? and also what kind of spark plugs, oil, etc should i use? ill take any ideas into consideration

 

new cap rotor plugs wires and a coil
cap and rotor get the accel brand with brass terminals
plugs get plain ole copper core motorcrafts
wires i like taylors
and coil i like the pertronix flame thrower.


dont use oil with the energy concerving stamp on the back
all oils will have the stamp but dont use the ones that say energy conserving on the bottom of it.

i like wix oil filters and having the 4.9l you can fit a wix 2 qt BIG oil filter part number 51773

 

thanks for the feed back! about the wires, i looked at the ones it has now, they are belden premium and brand new, do you think i should repace them anyways?

 

Belden is a premium wire company. If they are new keep them. You'll be hard pressed to find a better quality set.

 

Regarding the distributor rotor, please consider looking at a Motorcraft rotor. For the V8's I have yet to see a better quality rotor.

 

Motorcraft just re-brands another companies stuff....but it is always quality stuff and must perform to their standards.. Always buy Motorcraft when you can

 

i have an inline 6, would motorcraft work fine, even though you mentioned the v8? and would it be more expensive than accel brand? or probably about the same?
