Guys, A friend who is into Austin Healey cars sent me this article. I think we can all relate to this. My first Escort being a 1970 MK1 1300 super 2 door, started my love hate relationship with Lucas electronics. It had a generator (not for long though) and when stripping it out to start the 2ltr conversion I was glad I did cause there were a couple of places where it had 'lost Lucas smoke'!
