Who in here has an "EMP Proof" Bug Out Vehicle?????

The latest version of the movie War of the Worlds, which is old now, depicts just such a scene!

I have a jackass covered in tin foil will that work?

Who's got the "EMP Proof" nuclear plant?

It's simple.

IF your vehicle has a distributor cap, your fine.
IF your vehicle has an ODB I or ODB II port (the port to hook up a scanner) and/or has a "check engine" light, your fucked.

That is all.

1979 Chevy 454 4x4 4-speed, converted to points distributor, which it may have had stock but had been "upgraded" to HEI.

I haven't done it yet, but I plan to convert this truck to run on producers-gas, also known as carbon monoxide generated in a wood-burning stove mounted in the bed. It will then run on scrap wood rather than gasoline.

I will also carry 10-12 homies in the truck bed, 1/2 armed with deer rifles, 1/2 armed with shotguns

I should be okay 65 mustang with a four speed, will push start without a battery. Gas is going to be a problem, stock 289 with a 4v. Sucks up gas like my mother -in- law guzzles vodka.

Not EMP proof...but my klr650 is

^ This is what you probably want to have. Anything newer would have a control module in the distributor for spark control, a circuit board....

MORON, Your BUS IS LEAVING! The Transfer pump on a 1992 IS a mechanical unit right in the spot where a mechanical fuel pump would be on a GAS BURNER. Crank sensor - Ain't got one. It WILL however knock out the glow plug relay (little barrel shaped thingy at the rear, driver's side of the engine. A momentary switch and 6 feet of wire and you're still in business, just don't hold the switch down more than 10 seconds as the glow plugs are 6 volt units - chosen so they will burn hotter faster than standard 12 volt glow plugs. Any other questions DUFUS!

I do.... 86 fullsize blazer with factory diesal converted to burn fry grease.... pretty low key stuff but it works...

STFU ac,,,, you sound like little kid who never owned anything...K...Buh Bye

emp doom , brotha

I personally shielded all my electronics on my '97 f250 7.3l Powerstroke HD Offroad 4x4. Just need to slap on a gun mount and I am ready for some emp/zombie doom, or the chinese. -whichever comes first.

Schwinn Ranger.

How's about YOU do a little research - It has a MAGNETO ignition. It would also have a backup generator and battery as all Ford Closed cars had since 1919 and ALL fords had starting in 1926. - There is no condenser in a Model T, I promise. In fact it doesn't even have a distributor - it has a commutator with manual spark advance adjustment.

Lots of kids on tonight that have only read about working on cars on the internet in their Mom's basement tonight.

Okay, Sparky, Ask away. Anything you'd like to know, I'll answer factually. My Specialties are Ford Diesels (anything before 1995 is EMP proof), Dodge Diesels (Anything before 2003 is EMP proof) , Ford Big Blocks (Anything before 1976 is EMP proof) and anything antique. I have a real fondness for the Detroit 6-71 Diesel and the International Harvester DT-466.

Or will you tell me that an EMP will knock out the crank sensor on my Lister Diesel too?

KLR650 has always had an Electronic Ignition module, Kawasaki Part number 21119, current price about $340. Sorry, man, but you're going to need an extra one in a paint can if you're planning on using the bike after an EMP.

Trying too hard to overcome homosexual tendencies... Just chill and let everyone know you are a homo... The lister diesal was good analogy though.....

And you forgot to mention this as well. If the bad guys dont get your truck, whats left of the government or LEO will take it from you!

Jesus Christ... just reread this thread,, a whole bunch of metrosexual want to be cocksuckers,, that dont even understand how shit works,,, no wonder America will soon be a third world country... Will you innercity retards just please commit suicide so folks with brains can take over the world???

Hey OP:

You thread called my attention as this has been a topic of discussion with a person "in the know" that has been spilling some beans around here. Having a completely elcetronics free vehicle will be the only way to move around without resorting to muscle once the EMP's start happening.

Does your vehicle has pre heating plugs? Those should also fail after the EMP.

I was instructed to have some essential electric/electronics carefully shielded as a back up measure.

Unfortunately, finding a good vehicle for WTSHTF is out of my budget by now, so I'll have to use the bike to get to the safe place.

Not only ignorant of how shit works but poor too.. Really????

yeah were all dead eventually, but going out is going to be one hell of a ride!!!!

I do. It's a 1977 Chevy Silverado with a standard pre-computer era Quadrajet and a point driven distributor off a '73 chevelle. 38 deg total advance @5800 rpm. Not only will it survive an EMP, it will giddy-up and go. Though no power windows or automatic butt wipers, it does have air conditioning, power steering and power brakes. It looks like a rusty brown turd, which incedently is exactly what I wanted. Got great 10 ply rubber on all fours and liability insurance. This beast has two fuel tanks from the factory. One is like 14 gallons and the other is around 18 gallons. With 323 coggs in the rear, and driving like a white man, she gets 22 mpg. The best part? SHe cost me every bit of 200 bucks, in small bills of course :)

WRONG!
Old Jeeps don't have computers...and even the 60-80's electronic ignition / distributors can be converted back to points and condenser setups.

EMP proof.


Old diesels are the best choice though.

thanks you beat me to it


yes my model t doesn't even have a distributor or alternator... it has a generator and the magnetos are mostly WOOD

the model t is probably the least susceptible car to an EMP you can buy

Gotta agree with ya dude. This system is totally mechanical fuel injection. TOTALLY mechanical. It's the same exact concept that was utilized on large deisel engines used in trucks and Catapillar equipment for a great many years. Unless somehow and EMP wave can cause a belt to break, this turd should keep right on keeping on before and after an EMP attack.

One of the things that bugged me about the "cash for clunkers" program were the large numbers of 1980's cars on it that could be retrofitted away from the ECU if given time. Each of those cars was to have resin poured into the engine block by the trading dealership, rendering it useless, even for parts. Just like most government programs, the money comes at too high a price for me.

How did you overcome the electronic injection pump?

why not just grounding the truck by the bumpers and the axels and such? i have a 1997 f350 diesel. itd be a bitch to make one of those cages and it already surrounded by metal. im also thinking about when a car getting struck by lightning. itll still run but no radio or lights and such. also i was thinking even about a house in a lightning storm and all chimneys have lightning rods and are grounded. what about connecting a pole from like a chain link fence and connecting it to your concrete driveway (theres metal rebar throughout that) so the emp would transfered from the car to the ground.
