valve clearances, new oil, (prolly don't have an oil filter... but you should have a screen to rinse out) new fuel filters and spark plugs if you
want, but probly not necessary. take em out and check the electrodes...

new points.
condenser.
re-do your timing.
check tire pressure etc.

I can't remember who it was, but I think it could have been Volkspower (try a search) recently offered tune-up kits with everything you need to
do a service on your VW. :thumb
Make sure you have a manual, feeler gauges, 12V test light, plug socket (make sure it has the rubber in it to hold onto the spark plug as you pull it

It's all pretty basic stuff. Good luck!!
