scrawled the following:

When "restoring" a vintage car how does one handle the ignition system? It seems a more faithful
restoration would leave the original ignition components intact. But, OTOH, switching to modern
solid state would be the best plan. Please advise.

My advice: If it's a daily/monthly driver, install newer technology.
If it's a show car which will be trailered everywhere, install the
original setup.

A T-bucket at a car show sporting smallblock chebby engine is an
eyesore, IMNSHO.
