Well I love to tinker, and that being said, I easily go 10,000 miles on my truck without tinkering with the points, plugs or condenser. Runs great, starts great.
The reason I like having an old truck is because it IS old. I just like lookin' at the old stuff and thinking about how well it really does work. So no HEI for me.
On my antique tractors, I have magnetos. Now there is a really reliable ignition source. I know a number of antique tractor pullers who have switched back to magnetos from electronic ignition because they are reliable, simple and cheap.
Just because it's old doesn't mean it's no good. Speaking of myself here LOL.
