Any suggestion Vader?

Ok from about everything I've from you I take you are from around these here parts. My car has died and I dont have the time or tools to rip it a part myself. You got any suggestion on a good shop to take it to around here? It died the other night during that cold snap.

New,

The last I checked, you were going to test the HEI module since there was evidently no spark (the ether trick didn't work). How did that turn out?

If your ignition is dead, there are several possibilities. If the car is not conveniently located in your garage, it can be a PITA to troubleshoot.

I do know of one place I would trust, but drop an email so I don't have to advertise on the site. I've known the guy for many years, and you won't get shafted.

Thats the problem its out side and the weather just wont cooperate. The ether thing didnt work and I pulled a plug wire and held it to the block and no spark. I guess that no garage is a joy of APT living. My e-mail is in my profile if you can let me know which garage to goto.
