Lots of variables... Gassers hit you up for small $ every year.. points.. plugs, wires, caps.. etc. Diesels pretty much run till they die and then hit you for large $$ money.

One point.. when you get into higher altitudes it ain't hard to reset points and tweak a carb mainjet... not much you can do for a manually aspirated diesel.. though the turbo units breath fine.
