Default How many caps/rotors/coils?

So I'm finally going to have time to tune up my SC400:

-NGK iridium IX
-distributor cap, rotor, ignition coil: 2 of each?? I've found posts that said I need 2 coils, so I'm assuming 2 caps/rotors, but please confirm
Also, on the coil it shows "w/Bracket and Cord, Left & right" or just "coil only" Thouhgts on that pls....
-wires (Carson/Sewell/ParkPlace) or aftermarket??
-A/C cabin filter
-trans mount
-diff fluid

Fuel, air, oil, trans already done (and SeaFoamed the engine last oil change)

Thanks gents

Default Any 1UZ owners ever do a tune up??

how many ign coils, dist. cap/ rotors do I need to purchase?
what plug wires should I get: Carson/Sewell/ParkPlace or aftermarket??

maybe my 1st post was confusing....yes I did search, that's where I found I need 2 coils, but does that def. mean I need 2 caps & rotors

The SC400 has two coils and two distributers which means you need like 10 spark plug wires.

Thanks Jspec, I was just looking for confirmation before I ordered.

It's funny there are so many posts from the v8 guys that say "hey what about us" & I ask a simple question & after 20 views, the only response is a guy w/ the I-6!!

Thanks again!! Do you suggest going w/ OEM wires or Bosch/ Denso??
