Also back when the Safeguard system was developed and deployed (briefly) vast amounts of the U.S. electronic infrastructure from B-52 bomber avionics to the entire air traffic control system to vast portions of the electrical grid were built out of old fashioned systems (including vacuum tubes) that was far, far, far more resistant to EMP than systems from the mid 1980s to today.
Heck back in the mid 1970s, you wouldn't have had to worry about cars not starting due to EMP because virtually none of them had electronic ignition systems.
