Canuck Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 It depends on what needs to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Depends a lot of what upgrades you want done too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970mcss Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Can you tune it yourself? What upgrades are you thinking about? With the help of this forum to answer your questions you can't go wrong...just my opinion. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmccammon Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 No, not my skill set. mechanic who knows car and rebuilt transmission and engine doing it. Performance tune with “stage 1 ignition upgrade”.. ( his description). plugs distributor cap wires rotor carb clean and adjust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970mcss Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Got ya, it's not for everyone . Not sure what the cost should be. Maybe 250.00?? Just a guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cny first gen 71 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Not sure what a stage 1 ignition up grade is but with labor rates around $100.00 an hour I'd say a couple hours and maybe another $100.00 or so in parts plus whatever upgrade to ignition. Ie. Pertoenix a hundred bucks or so. Hard to say bet I'd say in the 400 dollar range possible. Hopefully you trust the guy doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragCat Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 As stated prior, if ya trust the guy the price is what it is. Parts are parts so I would at least get a guesstimate on the labor cost so you have some kind of ball park on what to expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
