But what about the ignition system and/or starter?

Driving along requires a spark for non-Diesel engines, which is my biggest concern for such a system. I had an alternator fail on an E-350 Diesel in rainy weater -- the drawback was no headlights and wipers, but the engine kept going. Gassers die completely in this scenario.
