All that is required is a feeler gauge and screw driver. If you need new points, you keep a spare in the kit. Usually a 15 minute repair and $10 for the points.
The modern ignition systems require expensive equipment and mandatory actual trip to the garage to fix it.
Usually you have to limp along sputtering with a rough idle to a garage and a repair bill of $200 plus the inconvenience of not having the car for a day or so.
Plus your car with points is EMP proof should it ever happen.
“The art of simplicity.”
No, actually, it isn’t. Depending on strength, the EMP may kill your alternator, weld the points closed and explode the battery.
