not that I'm old school, or just plain old, but I'm glad the only "technology" found on my '74tii is the small circuit board inside the little aluminum can which deals with cold starting.  Long before the internet was invented my shipboard electronics tech had to replace a transistor for me.  

 

 

 

Cheers,

On my 72 - most of them

 

I even bought a manual choke Weber because working it is part of the fun

...all the technology that my E60 has...

 

[wegweiser]

Thermo Oil Level Sensors. Crankcase vent valves. Suspension springs that break every 60k miles, valve cover seals that turn to bakelite after 5 years....and whatever adhesive they used on E36 door panels.

I have everything but the Pertronix. My car is very reliable - you just have to take care of a few things every so often. I get in it, it starts and goes (like stink)

How fast is "like stink" Jim?  Is that a technical term?

[Kidasters]

Back OT - I'm glad none of my fun cars have a virtual dipstick.  Or a check engine light.

Mine has those things plus a 123 ignition, and I am eliminating the stinks one at a time
