Thats the going rate for this tune-up. This isn't as easy as a standard V8 plugs and wires swap. That '92 is ten times easier to reach everything than the '94-up V8s. You cant change them all from the top unless you dismantle half the engine bay...which isnt necessary if you can get under the car.

You can do it yourself, it just sucks. It will still cost you about $500 in parts for all the plugs, wires, optispark, and cap...plus the water pump has to come off which means you either might as well replace that while your in there or you have to regasket that when it goes back on. All I'm saying is some people are willing to pay $300 in labor to avoid spending their entire weekend doing a tune-up on their car.

For Doodad, thats not to say it CANT be done. I dont have nay diagrams here to upload, but if you have the manual for your car (Haynes or Chilton) you should be ok. It will either have some pictures or tell you step by step how to do this job. I highly recommend you get the manual if you dont already have it before you do this job.

i used to have a 95 z28 and i know how cramed they are in there, but i thought that was kinda high, but that optic cost alot also.

Not trying to slam you or anytyhing, I was just saying its not the easiest of tune-ups. I did mine on my '94 T/A and hated it. If you had a '95 Camaro, you know what that engine bay looked like!! :-p

ya, and i agree it is hard, but still i think 800 is a little high. Even if the optic is $300 the plugs and wires would be most around $100, that is 400, that means like $400 labor?
