RE: Electromotive Ignition

Brian Shorey (er, brian shorey) writes, "i'm wondering what
arguments the factory is perfect crowd might offer in favor of points
and
condensers over a modern electronic ignition system in their older
alfas."

Hey, not only are points and condensers Y2K compliant, but if you happen
to drive near a nuclear blast, the EMP won't wipe out your ignition
system.

Not long ago I was describing the workings of Spica to a friend with a
modern EFI-equipped car, and I mentioned that the Alfa had been built
before  semiconductors.

Well, except for the chassis grounds, of course...
