Tune-Up
So I just picked up my first Corvette, a 1996 Collector's Edition 6 Spd, off a forum member. The car is awesome and exactly what I've been looking for. It has approximately 65k Miles on it at this time and I know it is due for an oil change in about 500 miles. I was just going to go ahead and do a full tune up on it this upcoming weekend and was wondering what all is suggested for a good tune-up. Was going to do the obvious air filters(it has the SLP intake so I need to find out if those are like K&N and washable or if I need new ones), oil and filter, not sure if it has a fuel filter but will find out. Not sure if I will get to the brake and coolant flush this weekend but soon. Does anyone know what the recommended life of the spark plugs are and what brand do you use any recommendations for spark plug brand are welcome. Does anyone else have any other suggestions for things to do to a LT4 with 65K on it? Any help would be great. Thanks in advance - Tim

The fuel filter is on the passenger side on the frame rail next to the cat. Be sure to relieve the pressure before you change it, and watch your face when you loosen the nut. I had my mouth open talking to someone when I changed mine.
