If the air filter is dirty change it.

I would not change dist cap nor wires unless there is an issue suspected witht them. You can pull a spark plug (#1 is nice for this purpose) for inspection to see if regap or replacement is in order.

Otherwise, keeping fluids fresh and paying attention to brakes & rubber is about all that is needed, IMO.

If you do the wires, the plastic seperaters will probably fall apart. May want to get some new ones.
