New technology in a new car does not prevent old technology in an old car from functioning. The quest for “new and improved” is mostly folly.

Learn what a condenser and points are.
Buy some appropriate ‘old tech’ tools.
Make a workspace in the garage.
Standardize on specific (relatively simple) older vehicle models, and buy a couple or a few.
Stock up on the routinely replaced parts for those vehicles. (filters, spark plugs, etc…)
Buy Haynes and Chilton’s manuals for those vehicles.
Get busy.

I LOVE MY OLD IRON-—car-—truck

WHEN I DIE, MY OLD IRON MECHANIC GETS THEM BOTH.

Agree

It’s strange how “new and improved” sells more often and costs more then old and working does. NOT

Some say cars are timed to fall apart not true they will fall apart stall electronics failure any time.
