My point being that the modern autos literally blow the doors off of any hot rod muscle cars of the 70s and 80s. Absolutely. Fuel injection, electronic ignition, higher spark plug voltages, more precision tuning, dual overhead cams, smoother intake and exhaust manifolds, etc. are just a few of the things that put engines today far ahead of those in muscle cars.
Point ignition was used up until 1974 or so?
I had a 1975 GMC pick up truck. Full 8’ bed. 350 V8 engine with fuel injection. I believe it was the first year that did not have a carburetor. It still had the three on the tree standard three speed transmission though.
