Agree! If you have skill. How many today would even know what dwell angle is, or how to adjust crack opening on carburetor? I use to be motorcraft/autolite master. Easiest carburetor I ever rebuilt was autolite 2100 and 4100s. Qudrajets and Carter’s require bending of adjustment rods to get choke right. A real pain!

Any new car now if you even think of working on it you have to have scan tool. Even if you got scan tool you have to be able to figure out how to use it. Just another layer of knowledge you have to have IMO.
