Just think of it no cell phones, internet hell even you cars/trucks have chips that can be fried. Just how would you find someone???

Will it fry points and condenser? And a brush generator with mechanical voltage regulator rather than solid state electronic? One that can be push started and driven even if no battery is present? Reason I ask is I didn't get out with the old and in with the new, I kept a couple old vehicles and never sold or traded them in when buying newer vehicles over the years.

Points condenser should be OK. It is solid state that can be effected!

My 70 VW was converted to solid state. Still have to the parts and know how to go back if need be.

A good flash can wreck shear havoc on IC's and trani's .....

That's good to know. I didn't keep them for this reason, honestly I never really thought about it until lately. They were just vehicles that my wife and I were driving when we first met and I just kept them.

I guess I'm maybe weird to be sentimental of some things but I also kept our kids first little Honda 50 and all these years later I have grandchildren fixing to learn on it before long like their mother and uncle did.
