  1. Replace the HEI with actual points and it would survive an EMP.

    1. unlikely. The ignition coil would act like an antenna loading coil & let the magic smoke outta that condenser in a split second. Real EMP shielding involves layers of iron & lead (iron to reflect, lead to absorb), an inch thick. Any vehicle wouldn't fare any better than a garbage can with a lit - that's all internet myth.

  2. Mine's and '85. Replaced all running gear with 3/4t, including a NV4500 5 speed transmission. Not afraid of pulling my camper, or anyone's mistakes in the woods, and I've recovered a few folks over the years.

  3. No roll over protection, so you wouldn't want to take it off the suburban streets.
    Might as well buy a Prius.

  4. New cars must be getting really bad, lot of people seem to want like 2008 or older. Still have the old 89 K2500, have not been in a new ride must be 10 years, the wife has a 2008 jeep, its got blue tooth but nothing else but standard code read ecu.
