Chuck, Extension cords strung through a house "work" but usually are not recommended as a permanent power solution. Points and distributer "work" but most people except that electronic ignition is a worthy improvement. As Maine Sailor suggests, not having the solenoid is a weak design and exacerbates the weak design of the connectors.
