While putting in a new generator is absolutely a better idea, that means it’s not the original car. Plenty of classic car (and computing and video game and music and any hobby) enthusiasts run original hardware on purpose. Where’s the fun in building an Apple IIe if you use a flash drive instead of the hard drive? Where’s the soul in listening to The Four Tops on a digital recording instead of the vinyl master? Why play Sega on a flash cart instead of the original cartridges? Why drive a classic Civic if you’re trying to drop a K20 in there?
New stuff is objectively better. A 4Cyl Mustang makes more power these days than a V8 from the 90s, more so for older models. You have to be a little irrational to put that amount of time into running something just because it’s older.
No, be that guy, correct incorrect information. Thank you.
