I can understand back in the 60s when you'd need to adjust the carburetor and maybe even the points. But today, what's adjustable?
Somewhat related question, but on a vehicle out of warranty, what periodic maintenance would you do "just because" if the vehicle wasn't showing any symptoms or issues?
Aside from fluids, what is there? Spark plugs? Ignition wires? I was thinking my truck could use some love before the summer towing season, but is any of that worthwhile?
