I'm reminded of a mechanic at a towing company where I once worked. I came in with one of the older wreckers and told him it needed points. He said he's get right on it. A few days later I needed that truck for an emergency call but it wouldn't start. I jerked open the hood, popped the distributor cap and the old points were still there.
After I returned from the call I stormed into my boss's office and then the 2 of us stormed into the shop. Turns out the 23 year old mechanic had never heard of points and had thought I was joking that day when I told him to put new points in the truck. The boss and I then taught him hands on how old school ignition systems worked.
That said, when it comes to modern ignition systems, that 23 year old mechanic is light years ahead of me.
