30,000 mile maintenence

[Jim Reeve <ultra@xxxx>]

This winter, I'll be slowly conducting some 30,000 mile maintenance on
my DeLorean. On my list is...

Plugs, Wires, Cap, Rotor
Oxygen Sensor, Reset LAMBDA counter
Fuel Filter, Air Filter
Cooling System flush, replace all hoses
AC and Alternator Belt

Also what I found when looking at factory recommendations was change the
transmission fluid. Is there any type of fluid that works best? Or
should I not even bother doing this? (I remember reading a while back
that there may be leaks if the seal in the fill/drain plugs are opened,
is this true?)

On my msc. list is getting a MSD Ignition Coil, Stainless Header bottle,
and stainless heat shields.

I have a basic knowledge of automotive workings, basically just enough
to do all of the listed above myself, but I do have two more questions.

The manual also states to adjust the ignition timing. I have never done
this, nor have I really looked into it. Is this something that could be
easily done with basic knowledge if I just read up on it a little more,
or is this something I should have done by a real mechanic?

And finally, I've heard a lot of talk on the list recently about the
Impulse Coil. This is the first time I've hear of this, and I couldn't
find too much info on this in the parts/workshop manual. Since i'm
going to have the intake removed this winter, I'm going to have some
pretty easy access to the distributor. Should I replace this part, or
not worry about it? Sorry for the length, but I always like getting
things done right the first time.

Thanks for everyone's help.
<PS> The damage to my left front fender was estimated at $650. Much
better than I originally thought! Just wanted to let a couple of the
curious ones know.
