Original vs. Modified...how much is too much?
Hi all,
So I was debating this mechanic who swore up and down that all vintage/classic cars should be left as is and never modified/upgraded (ie, restored to what it was when it rolled off factory line).
I mean I kind of agree, in theory. But there are so many improvements that have come along over the years- it's just hard to resist.
Personally, I have switched to webers (with fuel pressure reg), switched from points to elec. pertronix diz, and recently replaced my lighting.
It's this last mod (lighting), that I am beginning to re- think. All that other stuff you can't see, but lighting....I mean how much is too much (where do you draw the line)?
