John sure got it right!
Get the manual, read the section.
Make your own repairs.
Be patient with list vendors.
I have a 1992 Ford Crown Victoria, its a Law Enforcement special edition
............. the tune up was $415.00 at a Ford dealership and I had to
take it back because they tore the insulation off two of the new spark
wires that they installed.
I could have screwed it up for much less.
