Shooting my original m1860 spencer

[npm5063]

I just bought my spencer carbine and a have been getting a bunch of different opinions thrown at me.  The gun is in shooting condition, but is not modified to centerfire.  Could you give me a list of what I need and where I can get what is needed?  And any tips you have for cleaning and other maintenance I should know about.
