Howdy Folks!!...
Can anyone tell me the shop time to R&R Fuel Regulator Valve?. I checked one shop and they said 3.5 hours. Seems kind'a high, but then I'm just an Old Retired Locomotive Engineer who can't wrench a bolt the same way twice... So what do I know...

Thanks for the info

I saw your double post and saw you have an 88. It calls for the same .8-1 hour and the cost depends on the shop's rate per hour. Around here it's 80-100 per and a 1 hours min.

It does seem high but are there some incidentals that maybe you didn't mention? Was it a "phone quote" or a "toe - toe" conversation with the car present?

You can just delete the "double" if you like it's quite simple.

Edit - go advanced - tick delete, tick delete again and it's gone I think. That's the best I recall anyway!

Hmmmm.... now I'm confused Did I "double" something??. I see only one post... It seems I did forget my "signature" with my Vette info. The query was toe to toe with the service manager. And thank you all for your posts
