I'm assuming the guy who only paid $70.00 for cap rotor and plugs isn't running an LT1. The LT1 is a whole different story.

He also just did a heater core and his dash isn't working correctly. He has an L98.

but he had the guts to do a heater core where most people would have by passed it or paid the stealership 1200 to do it for them . as for the dash lights it doesnt make any sence, well it does make since its a corvette its gonna have electrical problems we all know that . but lights worked fine when i pulled cluster out i checked the two wires that feed that circut & both are grounded one should be hot .eather way i wired around it now they dint flicker like they did before & speedo doesnt flash on & off like itdid before . so i guess i made improvements.as far as the zr1 you are correct mine is theL 98 & im sure there is some differences but 150 for a cap & rotor i guess it is possible concedering a headlight switch is 175.

Jeez the stock OEM units go 160,000 regulary and often 240,000 miles. They are optical and other than the shaft bearings they just don't wear out.
Water and the placement are the enemy's.
For a tune up put on new Plugs and Wires , water pump w/hose running from weep hole to below your OPTI .
Another good mod while you are in there is to put some small washers behind your ECM to get it away from the hot A$$ed head .
Our cars are getting old so look closely at your plastic plug ins with a critical eye to how brittle they are getting.
I had one I had to take the cap off and puch it out from the back and the car had 77,000 miles.
I paid $89.00 for a Painless replacement harness and waited three days for it and I live less than a mile from them. LOL
I called them about color codes and the dude said hey we could have told you where to pick one up out of stock ! DUH !
Importaint :
I haven't checked myself but I hear [ maybe Leesvette knows for sure] that NAPA carries a lot of those pesky connectors that are quickly going south on on C4's.
I hear the same part goes for $28.00 bucks at NAPA !
I'm going to check when I get back into town and if so NAPA will get a lot more business as I usually have to order or chase my parts.
MSD had some problems with screws coming loose but they say thats been corrected but I put a little loctite on all of them anyway.
