Lightning generates an EMP that lasts longer than the initial strike and it usually does not effect vehicles.
Any vehicle not running with its body connected to an earth ground would likely be unaffected.
I would not worry about the old solid state distributors, their electronics are inside the distributor and constantly bathed in ionization, emf and rfi and they run a 100,000 miles no problem.
