Placing an order.. What am I missing?
 

Ok I am placing an order for my car. Basic tune up stuff, the car has sat for 4.5 years and I will be getting it back on the road in the next few weeks.

Here is what I ordered
Fuel Filter
Oil Filter
NGK Spark Plugs
Distributor cap
Rotor
Pertronix (replace my points)
2 Oil drain plug seals
Alternator belt
Valve feeler gauge and spare blades
SILICONE valve gasket with new nuts and washers

First off can anyone think of something else I NEED? Secondly are the Silicone gaskets worth the little extra money?

Thanks guys I will be placing the order thursday, I just want to make one order and not miss something and it has been a few years since I tinkered.

if you are careful with silicone gaskets they will last... sort of hard to not tighten them too much...
if you going to keep the car for awhile next time order 20 of the oil seals.. I think these go for the tranny also..
re. feeler - if you make the non feeler part shorter and feeler shorter will fit 100% easier
I need to post a picture..

here is the picture of the sloppy modification I made...but it works

on the left is the modified one... on the right is what you get from Pelican.
