I use mobile 1 snythetic with a motorcraft filter FL-1A, its a nice touch...That MSD kit isn't bad, but I have never had good luck with Autolite plugs, but thats just me...

that tune-up kit is for an 8 cylinder though. Also, i think straight 30 weight is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy to thick, try 10-40 first

If you don't mind my asking, what was the appeal of the 2.3L over a 5.0?

Memories? MPG?

Arin be curious

you don't need to buy one of those tune-up kits off ebay, everything you need is at your local parts store. Being a '93 I think your motor has 2 plugs per cylinder but I don't know much else about the 2.3 so I don't even know if they have distributors or coil packs...(?) but plugs, wires, cap & rotor, fuel filter, and air filter can all be bought at Advance Auto, NAPA, Autozone, etc...
