Cost of setting timing, on a V8 ??
As I asked: how much do you want to pay to have your car running right?
Of course, you could have paid *nothing* and it wouldn't be running right, or you could pay $150 to have someone else make it run right.
Seems cheap enough to have a 383 car be able to get out it's own way.
Maybe instead of bitching about the price you could say, "thank you."
