I have had a number of used cars over 10 years old. Most things I repair take longer than i anticipated. Replacing the fuel injectors on a Datsun 280 Z was a nightmare. Dealer wanted 850 to do it. I could buy the injectors for $29 each. It took me about 7 hours working outside to remove and replace it. My back was getting so sore but I couldnt stop and leave it half finished. When i was all done it was fine except one of three steel supports wouldnt line up. Rather than remove the whole injector tree and start over. I just got a hack saw and cut off the dam support.
