- Just happen to have two new, still in the box, Lucas dizzy caps for the 'A' ... same as on the 18G/18GA/18GB... set the ohm meter to Rx1K ... and was able, after a little wiggling of the probes, to

- Thanks Larry, The best I could do was 21K at the same junction. As you suggest a new cap fixed me right up. Unfortunately the old one won't serve as a spare. It's only future is as a desk top pencil

- Ross, your distributor ought to finction quite happily with an open circuit (as measured by an ohmmeter), so 20Kohms does not neccessarily imply it is bad. When I worked for Lucas (!) they allowed 4

- If you have one of the original style caps in which the connections are made by screwing a pointed screw into the high voltage wires, make sure the pointed screw is really getting to the center of th

- Don't do this! The early MGB distributor caps are inherently unsafe when pressed into pencil-holder service. Since the holes are perpendicular to the axis of rotation, the gravitational pull is in en

- Todd, your treatise on the use of Lucas side-entry caps as pencil holders assumes that the unit will be employed in a static position on a horizontal surface. I believe the unit could be employed suc

- Don't sweat it Todd. The only Japanese manufactured item I REALLY like is their mechanical pencils. The early MG caps are a perfect fit for the .5 mm Pentel pencils I'm partial to if the pencil is i
