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.

With your wording, I admit, your a bit over my head. But, that said, Your truck sits on 4 rubber tires. When your EMP occurs it will go somewhere else because, it won't be able to complete its journey thru your truck. Good Luck

Since your 64 has points, coil, and condenser, you're good!
Keep the tires inflated to the maximum inflation pressure as indicated on the sidewall, you'll probably need to run over the scores of elderly women, young children and the infirm aka "useless eaters" or other undesirables crawling through the streets on your way to the Honeycomb Hideout. Hope this helps.

I would keep a spare coil and a condenser in the Fariday but I don't all ways have my tin foil hat on straight. My concern is even if you can keep it running, as I plan to do LOL, you'll only get as far as the fuel in the tank unless you have extra stored or plan on siphoning from others.

Your slick will not be able to outrun the zombie apocalypse. Store as much ammo as you can. Forget about storing food. When civilization breaks down, those with guns and ammo will be well fed and safe. Tree huggers, gun hating liberals, and fat pigs like Rosie will be the first casualties of those who survive the initial onslaught.
