Interesting point HLC, a nieghbor friend of mine (young man, high school) is taking an auto shop class and he asks me questions, brings over his book, helps me work on the car, etc.
Whew, they jumped right into fuel injection, computers, antilock brakes, digital this and that. I'm thinking it's a shame they didn't start with some fundamentals! "This is a piston."
He helped set the POINTS on the Austin Healey and was fascinated they were a 'mechanical switch' instead of electronic.
