Default need help Reading Pa.

I need to know if there is anyone in or near Reading Pa that would be willing to give me a hand. I am dying of cancer and would love to take my vette out a few more times before I go but it needs the optispark replaced and I dont have the strength or energy to do it myself.I have all the parts to do the job. If you are able to help me please send me a PM.

Thanks and have a great day

I hope this helps. There is an Events and Regional section here on the forum. Post this in the appropriate section and you will probably get several to volunteer.
God bless you man.

I'm no where near nor know a thing about the optispark, but here's hoping it's completed soon and you can enjoy it. To the various offers, you have great hearts.
I believe in paying it forward, and this is an example of the best kind.
Everyone will be in my prayers.
