Any other valves, filters can I change myself?

Car acting little sluggish - especially when cold.

Plug wires are held in a plastic channel on the cam cover.

Distributor is on the front of the cam cover. Remove plastic cover (lift straight up) and you will find it, shaft runs horizontally off the front of the cam.
