If you've still got the ignition shielding in place (and they're going to leave it there), and they'll be using good parts, and do good work (at least, you trust them), then that sounds like a great deal.

Plugs, wires, cap, and rotor probably cost me close to $90 in parts alone.

You'll miss the fun and challenge of working around the shielding and running plug wires through the motor mounts of course :rolleyes: , but it sounds like you're busy enough.

Good Luck.
