Well maybe , but then there were the people like my dad that would not keep his car tuned up . When i was still living at home after i got out of the service i got home one evening for supper and dad was not there ahead of me he always was home before me . I asked mom where dad was and she tells me she did not know as he was really late . about that time the phone rings and it is dad his car does not want to start . HE is 45 miles from the house with a dead company car. He wants to know if i am home yet and if i would come over and see if i can get it to run . Dad's car is a 68 Cheve Impala with a 283 , dad is a salesm and and racks up lots of miles . so with tools in hand i run or should say fly over to where he is at and he is setting in front of his last stop , yep car won't start so i get to checking it out no spark so pull the dist. cap look at points , what points they are GONE i mean the contacts were GONE . well lests just pull one plug while were at this the electroid is GONE along with the tab i mean GONE as he has 50000 miles on this car and never even gave it a thought about having a tune up done on it . Put in a set of p-lugs and points at the curb and he was up and running in a half hour . As mechanic in a dealership we saw this everyday . Yes cars back then needed tuned up atleast once a year or every 12-14000 miles , Hemi's needed it more often along with valve adjustments . Myself i have had no luck with the aftermarket electronic ing. but i can get by with the old points just fine as long as we can get GOOD points and this is getting harder to do .
