How to replace cap and rotor?
Hi.
I have a 91. Is it easy to replace the cap and rotor?
If so, how easy and whats the procedure and how long should it take, or should I not even bother, and let the shop do it.
Thanks

yes.
20 minutes, max.
the distributor is near the firewall. remove the cover, remove the cap, remove the rotor, reinstall.
mark the wires in relationship and transfer them one at a time to the new cap.

While I've haven't changed the cap and rotor yet on my '89 L98, it doesn't look too bad at all--might be a bit tough getting to some of the screws that hold down the cap, but doesn't look impossible.
I'd guess it would take about an hour to remove and replace, assuming you've never done this before and you're taking your time.
