Default Re: Reliability

One thing I think people overlook in reliability discussions is that sometimes the most reliable choice is the one that you understand the best, can maintain, have the right tools for, have a spare, etc.

If you replace the distributor with an electronic one, and it works great for a couple years and then dies on the side of the road somewhere, and you can't fix it and you don't have a spare, was that really more reliable than the stock distributor, which might need more TLC but which is easy to repair with basic tools?
