Can someone please tell me how to change an ignition coil and how much the part should cost. I was quoted what seemed a little outrageous price of 700.00 for part and labour.
On a scale of 1 to 5 how hrd a job is this boys. The quote just doesn't sit well with me.
Any help would be appreciated.

its not too hard, get yourself a manual (i hate chiltons, everything is drawn, but it's better than doing it and not knowing)

the coil is built into the distributor. If you went to autozone or advance auto, you can get a new remanufactured distributor for 150 bux and it comes with a lifetime warranty.

btw: replacing the distributor is really easy...on a scale of 1-10, 1 being easy, i'd say its a 1 or 2.
taking apart the distributor to just relace the ignition coil is maybe a 3...not hard, just have to remember what order all the bolts & parts go in
