Yeah, but Mike would probably be the first guy I'd expect to do a
conversion to SU carbs and Lucas electrics on his jeep....

Ah, yes... blow an ignition module and you ARE going to walk to get
the replacement while on several occasions my old Dodge PU came home
with a piece of cardboard isolating one of the pair of dual points.
Redundancy and simplicity built in. Of course, it would be nice if
you had a carb built to that same standard but about all the ones
produced in recent years have so much crap hung on them (by gov't fiat
or for exoctic performance) that they can barely perform their basic
function of delivering a combustible mixture to the cylinders when
they ARE working right.
And a decent toolkit was a hammer, a screwdriver, a pair of pliers and
one roll of bailing wire. I guess that nowadays you would also have
to add a roll of duct tape, tho <g>.
