Generally, I agree. BUT ... the spin-on oil filter adapter is a major
time/effort saver. The original
Purolator/Tecalemit units are a PITA to change, and I always worry I didn't do
it right and the filter is getting
blocked or bypassed. Of course, you can bolt up the old contraption in no time
if you're overcome with purism.
And, I'm sold on Pertronix--engines run better with them and, of course, they
save time/effort too. My dad and I have 5
classic cars between us; all got Pertronix Ignitors. We don't have to futz with
points and there's usually something
else that needs to be done on them.
At times, I've had 3 cars to maintain. Anything that sames time and hassle, and
arguably improves the car's performance,
is good by me. Agree on the alternator/generator.
