On an older car, the ignition wires may not survive being disturbed when the car is tuned up. Start the car in a dark garage with the hood up (safely, with the e-brake on and garage door open, of course) and look for sparks and corona. This happened to me - so I replaced the honest-to-goodness original 18-year old wires!
