Cars have changed a bit. Tolerances and specifications are tighter, the
family car will most likely have multiport fuel injection, electronic
ignition etc. The days of sloppier tolerances, mechanical advance
distributors and 4 barrel carburation are over. Engines run cleaner for
longer. Why the timing belt and spark plugs on my Honda will get their first
change at 100,000 miles :0 Although I would like to put some nice NGKs and
silicone wires on it right now.
