This weeks program seems to have a very old segment. The boyfriend messed up a Civic after he replaced the points and rotor. The Civic had like 40K miles. So how long ago was this call?

Who knows? My son’s 96 Acura had a rotor and distributor cap but no points so it must have been from the late 80s or early 90s.

The last Civic with points on rockauto is 1979.
