Just too many now, dahawk, to run the old points and plugs way.
According to the Department of Transportation, in 1960, with a US population of 180 million, there were 87 million licensed drivers and 74 million registered passenger vehicles.
In 2003, with a pop. of 291 mil. and 196 mil. L.D.s, there were 231 million (obviously much more by 2010) registered passenger vehicles on the road. Dad had one, mom had one, all three kids each had one, etc.
Yeah, I STILL miss my 383 Plymouth with a real 4BBL. carb, plugs and points, an engine I could tune up myself, and cheap gas (before that, I had a ‘59 Impala with a 327 and TWIN 4 BBLs). No way, though, could we ever afford to have 231 million 1968 Plymouth Sport Satellites on the highways - not only would our gas stations be dry, but I doubt we could still breathe the air. We HAD to go to computerized engines, basically.
