Like ye old pinto or vega but fuel injected. EMP proofed!

What would control your fuel injection--a mechanical link or an electronic one?

While I appreciate the sentiment, I think the old mechanical injectors would be grossly inefficient, based on today's standards. You'd want to go electronic, and that would eventually mean bringing a chip into it.

EMP is a joke. Do you know the damage an EMP does to ICE engine that is not running? Nothing. Do you know the damage to an ICE engine that is running? It shuts it off. How to fix it? Restart it. LOL.

Electronic fuel injection of course! This is super limited electronics on board. So the onboard “computer box” will be tiny” When selling this automobile, leave space for an EMP shield that you can buy (option) with the car or in the aftermarket.

Mandated electronics would be ABS braking. But brakes will work if EMP knocks those chips out.
