Lucas Distributors

[Geo Hahn]

At the same time that we've had several posts re distributors this site came to my attention:

So many Lucas distributors are similar and sorta work in other applications... this may be worth a look if you ever wondered if you have the right dizzy in your car.

Marcel's site (link posted in Geo's post) is a wealth of information regarding distributors for A- and B-series engines. In addition to the PDF file above, if you enter his site at the "tech" directory (one level higher in the link) there are many more useful articles. It was with Marcel's guidance that I made my Hitachi distributor conversion. He also has worked on fitting Japanese gear reduction starters in place of Lucas units. Lately he's been focused on the development of a fully electronic dizzy (including advance) for these engines. There should be a link on his site to that distributor. If not, google for TDC Engineering. It's very interesting.
