It depends on what needs to be done.

Depends a lot of what upgrades you want done too.

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

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

Got ya, it's not for everyone . Not sure what the cost should be. Maybe 250.00?? Just a guess

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.

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.

Pretty good advice right there.
