More details, please I'm in Wichita, and I'm pretty familiar with LT1s

I've got a newborn at home, so my time is kinda limited, depending on what you're needing done.....

Colin is a good guy and very helpful. I would offer my services but I don't really work on cars anymore including my own. I'm always available to stand around and say I wouldn't do that if I was you and laugh when things break.

Thanks

I wouldn't mind taking a look at it for you, but having a newborn at home limits my spare time, so as long as you're not in a big hurry I'll be happy to help.....

Colin,

I feel very confident with you taken care of the car, everyone here is speaking good words about you, and that just reassures me. anyways, the car cranks, the fuel pump comes on but it will not fire up, the spark plugs/wires, the opti spark, and the coil have all been changed. If you think you know what it is from what ive explained, and you think it's a simple fix just let me know. otherwise feel free to come take a look at it diagnose it, and just let me know how much you would want to fix it, for parts and labor...I am in no hurry, the car has been sitting in the exact same spot for about 2 years

i'll send you a p.m. as well
