bought my first V8, now what do i do?



just picked up a 1990 V8 with 105k on it.   

I'm anal retentive, so have noticed some quirks that maybe y'all can help me with.

1.  intermittent ticking from the fuse panel 

2. when the engine pulls at a steady rate of acceleartion very small surges, (used injector cleaners, didnt help) at idle, varies 300 rpm.

3.  from coast to pull, (I live in the mountains in UTAH) feels like a bit of differentail or universal klunking, (i'm not a wrench guys, sorry for the clumsy descriptions)

4.  timing replaced at 90k, brakes at 75k, what should i look out for next?

5.  love the ca.r a great commuter for 100mi round trip and quattro driving in PArk City.  Will drive until it or me drops.  Any other advice?
