for all those users out there in netland who are using the lucas distributor
and are having troubles with timing you  should consider using electronic
ignition.the simplist conversion for the a series engine is to take a
electronic distributor from a four cylinder datsun replace the cam drive with
your original lucas drive and plug er in. the datsun distributors are easier to
maintain and will give you a bigger spark all the time. it even has vacumm
advance and centrifical advance.the unit itself is the same size as the lucas
one and will fit with little effort. another big advantage of this set up is
that its a lot easier for your dyno shop to recurve the distributor to match
your engine because parts are more available and the engineers may already be
familiar with the datsun unit giving you up to probibly 20% more power at the
higher rev range and also give you a higher max rpm once tuned properly.
