I'm reading a really good book called "One Second After" which deals with the aftermath of an Electro Magnetic Pulse caused by the detonation of a nuclear weapon at high altitude.
This got me to wondering, and I know there are some highly intelligent people on this forum, many with real world experience in addition to "book larnin'". So I thought I would ask here.
I know that points and condenser ignition system automobiles would still operate after experiencing an EMP, although their 8-track stereos may not.
Since many of our coaches have the HEI ignition system, which seems to be a bridge between fully electronic and points systems,
would the HEI equipped vehicles survive an EMP and still function?
This is a purely hypothetical question for mental entertainment purposes and has nothing to do with a certain world power's drive for superiority and domination. (grin).
