You guys watch too many sci-fi flicks. I used to work in a facility that
bombarded chips and then retested same. The test failures were discarded and
those that passed were considered hardened and were installed in missles and
silos. The greater percentage passed the tests, therefore your quartz clock
would probably survive.

You will be out in your driveway trying to fit your standby / backup
carurettor, distributor, points and coil, right? Don't forget to
stock up on duct tape and a year's supply of milled flour and
strawberry jam.

Not here....My 1973 Mercedes 220 Diesel will run fine....except maybe for
the quartz clock, the only electronic gadget in the whole car! Wonder
what
the EMP will do to the mechanical voltage regulator?? It may blow the
rectifiers in the alternator, but that's not important as the only thing
the battery is used for is starting and lighting.....
