    Those vehicles can, at least, be pushed out of the way.

    Maybe. If they're really piled onto each other from collisions, it might take a while. And a torch

    If the parking lot is full of cars, you can bet the roads will be even worse. Especially if it happens around 7am or 5 pm. Would not be much of an issue where I live, but in a city, it would be horrible.

    RELIGION IS LIKE A PENIS
    Its fine to have one,
    Its fine to be proud of it,
    But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
    And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.

    An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.

    How difficult are the pre-chip rotor/distributor switching assemblies to find or fabricate, and then install? and would a mechanical switching work with fuel injection at all in the first place?

    I mind an old salt that was beefing about the "damn high tech Navy....gettin' to be a computer command is needed to flush the head." There are some things computers should not be introduced. All this is getting me to thinking that cars is one of them.

    Distributors can still be found, the real issue is the fuel injection, and whether or not the transmission is computer controlled. You may just want to find and old engine transmission combo pre-computer chips to drop in the vehicle/ That means it has a carb and at most three forward gears if an automatic.

    Getting pretty thick here, you start pickin and pullin and you're in for more than you bargained for. (money pit) Personally, I would purchase a "pre-86" GM, or which ever brand you prefer. Ensure that it does NOT have fuel injection, and either an HEI or point distributor. The vehicle is already prepped for the application you're looking for, from there you restore and bring it up to mechanical readiness. Hell it don't have to be pretty, it has to run and run shit over and get there and get back. THAT'S IT!

    OH, did I mention I like Chevy's?
