Bought the parts to tune up the engine today and Holy Cr@p! <br /><br />Why are the prices so outrageous??<br /><br />Tac the word Marine on to the front of it and the price jumps 300%!<br /><br />4 spark plug wires- $92<br /><br />1 Distrbutor cap- $60<br /><br />Those were the worse 2 on the price.<br /><br />All together a simple tune up,parts only. $335.00

Since I work in injection molding and we have molded distributer caps both over the years. Marine parts are made with stainless and brass for the most part, while automotive use aluminum and steel.
