LT4 Electronics maintenance?
My LT4 needs new plug wires. One melted to the exhaust manifold and from the looks of them, they might be original. Other than plugs, what kind of maintenance parts and sensors should I consider for the 53k mile car that sat for the last 8 years in a garage, without running? I think O2 sensors are a good idea but what else should I consider? (All the fluids and filters are already changed.)
Also, I was planning on using a set of OEM replacement wires unless there is a reason not to.
Thanks

Honestly, I'd do the front two O2 sensors and call it a day if everything else is working right now. There's nothing on the parts market that's better quality than the OE electronics these days.

Thanks. Water pump was done a few thousand miles ago with the optispark was replaced.
So for sure I'll be doing O2 sensors and wires. I think that the driver's side should be good for a bit of foul language and bloodletting!
