Im trying to save as much money on car maintenence as possible and am just curious how difficult it is to do a cap and rotor replacement yourself. I have little under the hood know-how, so if its a somewhat big undertaking, I may steer clear. Anyone done this? Thanks.

the cap has nothing to do with timing. Adjusting the distributor will affect timing. The cap has the 4 plug wires connecting to it and is very easy to change. Just use a screwdriver to turn the 4 screws holding it on. Don't worry, you really can't mess this up.
