Default Re: FS Ignition versus Original for touring

Get one of the burnout proof condensers, I have 40 years on the same one —- a condenser is easy to change along side of the road—- a failed electronic thing probably won’t be fixed along side of the road.
Take a couple short full tank to empty (250miles?) miles trips, clean the fuel strainers after each trip .
Don’t forget the lubricant level in the steering gear when checking the other lubricant levels
The reliability of the original model is that most problems can be fixed along sides the road.
A modern cars has different reliability, they go a long way but when they break they have to be towed—- too many “ modern” modifications and you have a model A that has to be towed and wait for parts
