This is the reason I stopped judging: too many people fanatical about the 
rong things. The battery numbering scheme is just one instance, back in the 
day, the "AC Delco" was molded into the side.

For example spark plug wires: before 1973 Delco-Packard plug wires were 
embossed, not silkscreened. In the '60s original tires did not have FMVSS 
legends on the side yet new tires that look like the ones that "were not 
even safe in the driveway" are popular for restorations.

Personally, I prefer my old cars to have modern features like electronic 
ignitions and synthetic oils. Someday I may even fit EFI, and a multispeed 
automatic gearbox (CVT would be better). You never know.
