So, the EHA in my car is still giving service after 24 years and the fuel distributor after 20. Weak link????

The statement was that hot wires are bulletproof, which they are. Which had nothing to do with later 104s - merely a correction of your prior mistatement that later 104s had hot wire. I think you're confusing hot wire with hot film. CIS fuel distributor and EHA problems are very common, and often perplexing. Try a search on a few forums.
