The wifey sequestered it. $500.00 + new wires and plugs. We were amazed with the smooth ride. Shell use it daily after register and plates this saturday. It very clean now, I bleached the entire interior. Spring time, head gasket coz the covers have leak. Not sure yet about temperature. We drove it for 60 miles and stable temps, not sure during summer with a/c. Not bad for 113K mile truck. Cheers

LOL! I am sure for DIY complete tune up without hassle, its worth it.
Coil Packs on ebay I use are $53.00
Custom Kingsborne Wires for this kit is $45.00
New Spark Plugs $49.00
Relocation kit $208.00

TOTAL: $354.00 For entire DIY tuneup weather you are a novice or experienced mechanic.

I used to go to dealer then local shops and if you try asking its around 800 to 1600.00. The cheaper ones does not even include replacing the coil packs. I know, some would really dig the coil packs out and thats fine with them, this is just an alternative. Cheers

Nah, for $200, I'll pull the upper intake...or make a bracket.
I already had new stock length wires and got new coils.
I have the engine out now rebuilding it. And will be putting the heads on after the block is back in.
So the coil packs are ok where they are.
After I have everything done, I may consider a set of plug wires, extend coil wiring myself, and make a bracket.

Dave, seems like it. lol! It came from califonia. She gave me complete service records since new and all parts that was replaced. Since she moved to NY, i saw the last tune up was over 10 years ago. She sold it coz she dont want to pay apartment parking fees. Rust is manageable and only on the surface nothing that went deeper in the frame invluding the rear frame. Cheers

I think it's a great project and probably a quality product, but $208 is a bit steep. Maybe you can 3d print the bracket or something to lower the cost and still make your margin? I would be more likely to buy it if it was closer to the $100 mark.
