    Personally, I would leave the seals alone unless they are leaking
    The hoses would be inspected to see if there is any splits or wear (softness)
    You could replace the thermostat but if it is working??
    And the thermostat is fairly easy to change when necessary.
    Spark plugs and wires are a good idea if you feel they need it.
    Again gasket ... would see if they are leaking.

    I am the kind of person who replaces things if they fail.
    Cause I know sometimes preventive maintenance can cause more problems
    Of course, change the timing belt before it fails.

    Seems like you already made up your mind on what to do to the car.
    So why ask??

    It is your money.
    Do whatever you want.
    What ever makes you happy.

    You are right. When We Love Some thing, We take Care.
    If I asked, was Looking to See what People have done, If it was Bad, Broken, Leaking, How many Miles last old parts, Used OEM or Aftermarket, What can I do before Happen to me, etc,etc, . I think is Better and More readable go to YouTube .

    Yeah, my first car was like that.
    It was an old car. I bought new distributor, car and rotor
    Put new brakes on it. Four drums.
    New plugs and wires. New coil.
    Changed the hoses.
    Just wanted the car to run safely.

    Knowing what I do now.
    Wouldn't have thrown so much money into it
    Either buy a newer car or just try to get the best service life out of the parts.

    Oh, nothing wrong about youtube.
    Lots of information there.
    Those guys at google really knew what it meant.

    Did you see if the fuel pump is getting powers and grounds?

    Check the fuel pump relay in the engine bay fuse box
    Check youtube videos on how to do a relay by pass test
    Or just how to test relays.

    It will let you know whether the control side of the relay needs to be looked at
    Or the load side of the relay needs more attention
    Helps to find where a possible fault may be at
