Bottom line the car is nothing but one giant set of points. So basically, we all should have bought stock in a points manufacture back in the 50's then sold the stock when everything went transistorized. I would guess that the only sets of points still manufactured today would be the distributor and the voltage regulator. Even the radio vibrator has gone electronic....I miss the hum when I turn on the radio.....necessary evil I guess.
