If a voltage regulator or generator crapped out, you got a new one - or a rebuilt - at Napa. Made lots of trips with those cars with the manual or power tops down, girlfriend nearby, never got stuck. This stuff with all the sensors and FI and electronic systems is far too complicated for me to cope with. I can't figure out why I would want a lock system like this or a system that shuts off the motor at stop lights or steers for me when parking. I even pulled a hydromatic out of my '50 Olds convert and replaced it with a LaSalle floor 3-speed when I was in high school. Good shifting with Sally next to me..... Those were the days - down with consoles. Sure, the tops leaked and the radios were elementary, but to my mind Those Were The Days.
