Remember when cars didn’t need no stinkin’ “chips”?
And you didn’t have to be an “expert” to work on the car.

Condenser, rotor, and points, Fifteen minutes and off you go. Maybe six or eight spark plugs. On a Ford, I think a 1956 or 57, you had to unbolt the motor mounts and raise the engine to change the number 8 spark plug. Had a problem, car not stating. Problem was the grounding strap star washer was installed wrong at the factory. So sometimes it had good grounding. Then when it got mad, no ground, and car, no go. It was fun being a weekend mechanic. Wife did not enjoy a motor being overhauled on the kitchen table.
