Default What should I do ?

I am going to replace my plugs, distributor cap and rotor,and wires on my 85 Vette. It has 29,000 original miles with the original ignition parts. It still fires right up with no problems, but it is time. Should I get the new parts from a genuine Chevy dealer so everything is correct, or should I get them from a parts store ( Advance, Pep Boys, etc.)? I wanted everything to look original. Any suggestions ?

Pretty much personal preference. I'd change antifreeze and fuel filter while you're at it.

go to the mid america motor website
I purchased a complete tune up package that includes: spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, air filter, oil filter, fuel filter, pcv valve, breather element!
Parts are AC Delco witch are original GM parts the same as they sell at the GM dealer

all this for only 129.99$!
It also cost me 30$ shipping but I live in Canada so that explains that
