$400 to replace spark plug wires?????

[Grundoon]

I have a 1994 T/A with a LS1 and it started missing. Checked under the hood and a spark plug wire on the right side was arcing across to a A/C metal hose.
The local mech quoted me over $400 to replace all the wires!!??!!. Said it would take about 4 hours labor and 0ver $200 for the wires.
Well I found wires on the web for $80. Does it really take that long to replace these wires?- they are pretty well buried.

(what ever happenned to the days you could change ign wires in about 10 minutes?)

my last Car (1994 Formula) caught fire on the highway and burned to the ground a month ago. I don't like the idea of running this one with all that spark shooting around in there.

any info right away would be appreciated

94 with an LS1?? Was it swapped in? Or is an LT1?

Wires for an LS1 run about $55, and require about 30 minutes of squeezing your hands around under the hood. Two clicks to connect to the coil, and one click to connect to the plug.

Go to www.byunspeed.com to order wires. He has Taylor or MSD. Both are good wires. Price includes shipping.
Make sure you know what motor you are refering to though. In 1994, the Trans Am got an LT1, not the LS1.

I must be tired or something or brain dead. I have a 1995 LT1 (code P).

So whats the story on this- please help- I'm supposed to take it in to the shop in the morning!!

I think that is way to high, check a different place to get a different quote. Or change them yourself...

Hello Young!!

Just me pushing your site again. I saw him post LS1 at first. Whoops.

Either way, guys, use that site for parts!!!

Thanks to all you fine folks for the help and advice. I sent my order to Young who is sending the wires out right away. This weekend I'll go at changing the wires. You all saved me $350.
thanks again
