Sorry been working out of town for 2 weeks but here is the links to the estimate and the final invoice:

Estimate:

Final invoice:

Never posted links on here so if it's not working let me know. The original agreed upon estimate was understood to be everything except for the cost of the ignition and carb.

Wow. Nickel and Dime much? First glance I see "Magnaflux block" on page 3 and page 4 at least once each, and at different prices...

Prices changed on a lot of stuff too. If I were you I would import it into Excel and go through it line by line. Good luck

Distributor marked up over $200.00???

$492.68 ... $288.55 RETAIL...

I like to make a profit as much as the next guy, but I cant even mark up Ferrari or Porsche parts that high.
