I would start with a ss sleeve kit. That's probably the single most important upgrade you can do at an affordable price.

Alan has a good point, but then again, he always has ;D.
I just want to mention that you are upgrading a reel that has proven itself for many years.
It's amazing that after 50+ years , today you could still purchase that same reel.
Unfortunately, that's not the case with most of the newer models, they're constantly changing.
Why do we upgrade? because that option exists ;), besides, it gives you a great feeling fishing with a reel that you had something to do with.
Good luck with whatever you decide, we're here to help either way, and not with just spending your money ;D, but also to keep that reel in top shape ;).
Good luck!

If your reel has a steel gear, then a drag upgrade of either Bryan's or Lee's is hard to beat after the stainless sleeve. At least one stainless dog would be good for that situation also.
