How do you do a tune up?
In an older vehicle you replace points, plugs, condensor, rotor, distributor cap, plug wires, set the gap on the new plugs, set the points gap, set the engine timing and run a compression test.

Some of the newer cars still use a distributor cap and rotor, so a tune-up varies from one vehicle manufacturer to the next.
