460 tune-up help please

'Nother newby questions,folks. Besides the usual things(plugs, cap, rotor, wires, air filter, and fuel filter, what else do I need when tuneing one of these new-fangled 'puter controlled critters? The engine has approximately 50k miles on it since it was rebuilt and the fella I bought it from said that it hasn't been touched since then. I've got a '92 F350 Crewcab 4x4 with, obviously, a 460. My experience is with FE and "M" series engines in older(read, non-ECC) trucks. Also, should I test the wires first or just replace them? Thanks,Rick

If your not experiencing anything unusual, it sounds like you pretty much have it covered.

Rick you also need to change the O2 sensor in an EFI tune up. You have the rest covered. PS Fuel Injector Cleaner is a good idea as well
