Welcome to the forum.

Definitely do the distributor cap and rotor or you can replace whole distributor. I just did mine on a 96 that I just bought. You wouldn't want to have to do it once the keg is back on.
While it's off, replace the plenum plate with an aluminum one,
Also good time to replace oil sending unit an temp sensors.

What’s the general condition of the vehicle? Do you have a game plan for your goals with it?

I’ll tell you I’ve twice bought vehicles that had been poorly maintained. Endless. Money. Pits.

It’s real easy to spend more than a vehicle is worth rehabilitating an uncared for machine.
