I want to do a major service for the old girl and was hoping you guys could suggest what fluids and parts I should get?

Oil
Fuel Filter
Dizzy
Spark Plugs

I'm not an owner of this model but how about -

Brake Fluid flush - every 2 years on all cars

Coolant flush - every 3 years 50:50 mix of MB antifreeze

When you service the transmission do the differential as well.

You might check to see if this model has a cabin filter. Used to filter pollen and dust from fresh air intake. Usually around glove box on one side or other of the firewall.

I don't know if this engine has a roller or flat tappet cam. If it is a flat tappet lifter set up you will need to use oil that will provide adequate protection for this camshaft. The new oils are made for roller tappets and will quickly destroy a flat tappet camshaft. Many speed shops sell oil for flat tappet cams.

Given yours is a 94 I am not sure what cam you have. You might check it.
