Default Dynaspark installed!!

Well after almost two weeks of down time the car is back together below is a list of what was installed since my Opti failed.

Dynaspark--$600
New water pump--$140
Taylor 8mm plug wires--$54
Crane Cams coil--$55
Antifreeze and new belt--$30
Idler & Tensioner pullys--$40 (old ones were wore out)

It was a pretty expensive repair but the car runs like a **** now. It was nice to drive the car again, put a big smile on my face since I have been driving my girlfriends Saturn Ion for the past two weeks.

Default ...dynaspark....

....just had a dynaspark installed on my 94 coupe........and what a difference......with 95k on the car, everything was original....the previous owner had changed the waterpump without changing the optispark, so after a the dynaspark install, and a complete tune, a new aluminum radiator, it runs very well and i am very satisfied. like you say it runs like **** now......

Other than the Dynaspark, the $$ you paid for the other stuff looks like a steal ! Who is your preferred parts supplier?? Inquiring minds want to know.
