We need a car company that manufactures cars with old style plugs, points and distributors. And maybe one that can retrofit new autos with some of that old time tech. No computers or anything made after the 60s.

Totally forget the points thing.

Dedicated electronic ignition is WAY better [Ford TFI modules excepted.].

Coil on plug remains very questionable.

Integrated cyl by cyl misfire detection is not a bad thing.

Need cars which swap out engines, transmission etc. and other major parts if necessary. To be easily rebuilt by OEM for 1/2 the cost of new cars. I have a 2009 Cobalt with 335,000 miles. If there were still lots of replacement part options I would rebuild it. Old VW bugs changed very little during their lifespan and there are still many people fixing, retrofitting, and driving them. First manufactured in 1945.

That would be felony emissions tampering.
