Full tune up

What is considered a full tune up on a carbd vehicle? I have a 79 f-150 and I want to do a tune up. I was looking over a bill my mom just paid to have her chevy done and she paid alot of $ for a "full tune up" hah. Is their a quick check list for a one shot deal? I have onyl changed oil + air filter since I got it (and I got it about 12,000KMS ago)


Thanks!
Chad

Full tune up

well, a full tune up, would be, plugs, wires, air filter, breather filter, PCV valve, Distributor cap, rotor, points if applicable, set timing, clean the carb.... That all I can think of now... BTW you would also want to tune the carb as well..... Just to let you know what I would to for a FULL tune-up....

Full tune up

On late models that should include testing certain sensors such as the O2 as well as MAP or MAS. Plus checking the compression.

Only if you have EFI. If you have a carb there are no sensors.

OOPS! I missed the carbed part of your post.
