Items such as points and condenser, distributor cap & rotor, ignition wires, setting distributor timing, setting carburetor adjustments, are all from the distant past. The computer-controlled vehicle of today will go approximately 60,000 miles between tune-ups. Most performance problems are not actually tune-up issues. More often they are problems with sensors and actuators, which are computer-fed. General cost is dependent on the engine's size and layout.
