Could be.  My dad gave me a 1936 Willys coupe when I was 14 and I had to
get it to run.  That was back in 1950.  Haven't had a car since except a
VW camper my wife and I bought in 1967, brand new. and a 1969 Nissan
Patrol we bought new.  Everything since has had electronic ignition and
or fuel injection.  By the way, I rebuilt an AFB carburetor back in
1963, and it worked.
