What else should I do to my 1984 300TD?

These are the things Ive done so far as of when I purchased it on Sept 16th. The car has 260k miles.

-both tie rods
-steering damper
-oil change, filter, pan and gasket
-both fuel filters
-air cleaner filter and mounts
-2 front brakes and rotors
-refilled fluids

This is what I've got on my plate for this month (probably next 2 months)...

-tank strainer
-transmission fluid change, filter and gasket.
-driver's side upper control arms (does this require an alignment after install?)
-motor/trans mounts
-driver's side tire
-valve adjustment
-compression test
-fix radio

Is there anything else I should look at in terms of maintenance? The car runs great. The only pressing issue is my tank strainer is semi clogged (have a thread going for that).

Since the car has high miles, is there a way to know if the timing chain needs replacing?

I want this car to last forever
