I haven't been on the boards for a while and I'm hoping a few of you might be able to help me out.

A neighbor of mine owns a 94-95 Buick Roadmaster Wagon LT1 with about 125+k on it. He's got the check engine light, sputtering, etc. He took it to 2 places so far and the shops quoted around $1000 to do it. Without owning the right equipment to test his car, I'm assuming that at this point, he needs plugs, wires, water pump, and optispark based on these 2 shops quotes.

I told him I'm willing to do the job, but without seeing his car as of this post, I'm hoping a fellow Roadmaster owner can fill me in on doing this job.

I once owned an LT1 Z28 and did the plugs and wires, even with an apprentice tech and myself, we got it done.

Thanks for some help.

O2 sensors,then the cat.Do the cheap stuff first.With that many miles,they should really get the car scaned.Does the light go off and on?

You mean tune-up then? Shouldn't be any different than an LT1 in a different car for what you need to do.

b-body is easier to work on than an f-body, LOTS more room. If you handle this stuff on your own you should have no problem with this.
