I have to agree with you Mike.  I hate the idea of old cars wandering
around using up huge amounts of fuel and polluting the atmosphere...
and I would love to own an old E-type (in-line 6 or V12) or Austin
Healey 3000.  But we have to move on and leave a world for our kids
to enjoy responsibly.

Uh, new cars have coils, batteries, and voltage regulators too--this has
nothing to do with fuel management.

So do I. In fact, I find it much easier to fix the occasional CIS or
Motronic hiccup than I ever did dealing with carbs, *especially* those smog
kludged carbs of the dreaded 1970s--the worst years of cars from any
automaker come from then--gag.
