Tune Up Parts Numbers

heavychevy98 · Feb 5, 2013

Somebody should get together a bunch of tune up parts and sell a full tune up kit. Shop around and find the best prices and buy some up and put just a little mark up on the stuff and resale. Like wires, plugs, cap, filters, and maybe o2 Sensors. Just a thought. . . Might not be cost effective but would be nice.

RockAuto has them but they are not the best parts (I think it's Airtex/Wells)... Going ACDelco for all that stuff is a much better idea.

United Motor Products offers different tune up kits. Rock auto carries some of their products. They are a Ohio based company that offers ignition products at a fair price.

I just bought their tune up set for my burban, I'll let you guys know if I have any complaints. The only thing I don't like so far is that the new cap is blue. lol

I might get that set, I already have Packard wires and my truck is running a bit rough (possibly cap and rotor). But that seems like a better deal than buying it individually anywhere else. Also not keen on the blue cap haha

You guys do realize that the blue cap has brass terminals instead of aluminum ones, right?

I realized that when I installed it about 30 minutes ago. Wouldn't that be a worse option than aluminum? The whole kit was a perfect fit, paired it with a set of platinum NGK plugs, started right up and runs well. Also, you can't really see the blue cap when the air cleaner goes back on.

Aluminum oxidizes at a faster rate than brass so the brass terminals generally last longer between cleanings/tune-ups

Cool, I should've thought of that. I was just comparing the conductivity of the two and aluminum is a better conductor.
