yea...yourself, plugs, cap, rotor and wires.......add a air filter and fuel filter for the full deal, shouldn't cost over a 100.00 for all the parts and a few hours of your time

i got my box from late model resto last week and they sent me the wrong plugs with it. so i had to wait until i got them today. I installed the rotor, cap, fuel filter, wires and plugs, and it seems to have stopped the bucking at 4500 RPM. But it didnt fix another problem. ill just make a new post about that. Thanks guys for the help!

been having starting problems. Sometimes i really gotta pump the gas alot to get it to start. (maybe a new solenoid or starter) Also once i get it started sometimes it will go zooming to about 2500 RPM and just stay there until i put it in gear. Then it will for instance once i push the clutch in the RPM will stay at 2000 and will very very very slowly go down. And sometimes when it does start it will just idle normally and not act up at all. I tried installing a 3 different IACs in the past month and no change. Now my car does start everytime just it takes some pumping to get it going. ANY IDEAS?????



also while im driving i can take my foot off the gas and it acts like its in cruise control it will continue at the same speed, but cruise control is not activated.
