CM maintenance

I have a 1994 that I just purchased. 75,000 miles—convertible—6-speed.

I would like to do some maintenance on it and I would appreciate any feedback
You can provide in terms of product or brand recommendations for these items:

1] spark-plugs
2] spark-plug wires
3] Distributor cap and rotor
4] fuel filter
5] air filter
6] Transmission fluid

Any other suggestions on maintenance would also be appreciated.

Thanks very much

AC/Delco is the safe bet.

I recommend changing the HEI module and Terminal Board too. They're right under the rotor.

Rear differential lube is worth a hard look too. Be sure to include friction modifier.

How about inspecting the rubber bushings? Urethane is a fantastic material! This winter I'm replacing all my remaining rubber bushings with it.
