Points ...

When I was dating I had a hippie van - sunroof, 27 lights, peace symbol on the front, able to maintain 45 mph over the pass (unless I had a passenger) ...

But my girlfriend (now wife) rode around in her creampuff '55 Hot Dodge. 250 cubes or thereabouts (as big as they came in those days), Super Red Ram Hemi-head - a high compression V-8 with a 6-volt battery. The thing got 1500 miles to the quart of oil, but only 750 miles per set of (dual parallel) points. In the winter she would remove the distributor at night to change points in the warm kitchen, and re-install it in the morning. Oh yeah, and 8mpg in the city.
