Generally, this means: Ignition: Distributor Cap & Rotor, Ignition Points, Condenser (correct type), Spark Plugs, Ignition Wires Fuel: Fuel Filter, Carburetor Air Filter, Fuel Hoses, Carburetor Gaskets, Fuel Pump Spacer Plate/Gaskets Cooling: Fan Belt, Radiator Hoses, Heater Hoses, Thermostat (decide heat range), Water Pump (if worn) Engine: Oil, Oil Filter, Valve Cover Hoses, Valve Cover Screens, Motor Mounts (if needed)
Other: Vacuum Hoses (including Brake Booster Hose), and consider re- installing carburetor and distributor Keep a record of dates and odometer mileage reading when installing, to determine component wear rates. Procedure: Acquire an engine compression gauge (screw-end type is recommended)., Make sure battery is fully charged. Remove all 4 spark plugs & disconnect coil (+) wire. Important: Remove air filter or hardware from top of carburetor, and use a tool to hold the main throttle plates of the carburetor fully open for the duration of this test. Screw the engine compression gauge, into spark-plug holes, beginning with #1 cylinder. Observe the highest number the gauge reads (the needle jerks upward about 4 times, then levels off), and write it down as the “dry” number for that engine cylinder.
