Yes that’s what the Lucas coils look like now.. but I’ve recently discovered that they’re of poor quality.

My car is fitted with an old, reliable coil but anything from the good doctor is likely to be quality stuff.........I can confirm that his condensors are worth fitting for peace of mind that they will last, and I have achieved a very good set-up with his points.

Hi Sandun,

I bought one of those Lucas coils about 5 years ago, and in my experience, they are not the same quality as the 'old' Lucas ones - it failed after about 18 months :(

The Flamethrower suggestion is spot on. Cured my problem perfectly.
