For 2.5k I'd expect them to attach the plug wires properly. Honest mistake though I guess, no biggie.
As for the Dizzy, whats bad? Cap and Rotor, or the whole unit? a cap and rotor can be replaced for like $15 and you can do it in under 10 minutes.
What I dont get is if these were bad wouldnt they have noticed that when they built the engine? and why on earth do you need a cat because your dizzy took a **** all of a sudden?
my 2 cents thinks theres either more to this than posted or you're getting taken for a ride with no lube.
