It should be fine.Gas engines with the older style ignition sustem(points,coil)should survive.Most solid state ignition systems will be ruined.That means all new cars won’t start.Most heavy trucks on the road have electronic control modules driving their fuel injection systems.So no food delivery,no fuel delivery.Most modern farm equipment will be rendered useless.I have some older tractors that will continue to function,but how much fuel,seed and fertilizer will I be able to find?And for how long?It will become a race to repair oil refineries,power stations,trucks,just about everything we need to sustain life.

So, my 1979 chevy pick up (runs like a clock) will be fine, also. Obtaining fuel would certainly be a problem.

Also, I buy hay in the winter for my horses...that would be a real situation. I do have a bunch of reserve seeds for some ordinary produce.
