Pre electronic ignition
Been awhile since I last checked in, '68 & '73 gone. Now wondering about ignition on my '64 F100, 223-6 stick. If an EMP,(electro-magnetic-pulse) were to occur, whether by weather, meteor impact, sunflare, missile strike or otherwise, what electrical components would be needed to store in a Fariday cage to install AFTER the pulse fried the original setup? With no high-tech, HEI, or other computerization, it seems logical to me that this action COULD keep these relics out of the ditch. I know, I know...been told to adjust my tin helmet by more than one party; I figure some of the seasoned vets out there might confirm or dispel. Thanks.

Not worried so much about alien invasion. That's another matter, and not paramount on my worry list. Generally, most pre-1970 autos are free of the computer control and monitoring gizmos that could and would fry like bacon from really big, powerful impulses from Sun eruptions or meteor/asteroid impacts. And that juvenile delinquent running the show in North Korea is capable of doing massive damage to our electrical grid with his battery of ICBM's. I prefer vehicles not sophisticated to the point of not being able to repair on the side of road stop. A box of spare electrical items for my little six-banger is cheap enough insurance. Thanks, fellas.
