Place your bid now for the NOS Lucas Replacement Wiring Smoke Kit 
(w/adapter)

Current bid at US $199.95

Quoted from ad: (partial)

"Have you inadvertently let the smoke out of the wires on your classic 
British car? This, then, is the solution to your problem!

Here is presented for your perusal one Lucas Replacement Wiring Harness 
Smoke kit, P/N 530433, along with the very rare Churchill Tool 18G548BS 
adapter tube and metering valve. These kits were supplied 
surreptitiously to Lucas factory technicians as a trouble-shooting and 
repair aid for the rectification of chronic electrical problems on a 
plethora of British cars. The smoke is metered, through the fuse 
box, into the circuit which has released it's original smoke until the 
leak is located and repaired. The affected circuit is then rectified and 
the replacement smoke re-introduced. An advantage over the cheap repro 
smoke kits currently available is the exceptionally rare Churchill 
metering valve and fuse box adapter. It enables the intrepid and highly 
skilled British Car Technician to meter the precise amount of genuine 
Lucas smoke required by the circuit.

Unlike the cheap, far-eastern replacement DIY smoke offered by the 
"usual suppliers", this kit includes a filter to ensure that all the 
smoke is of consistent size, It has been our experience in our shop that 
the reproduction Taiwanese smoke is often "lumpy", which will cause 
excessive resistance in our finely engineered British harnesses and 
components. This is often the cause of failure in the repro electrical 
parts currently available, causing much consternation and misplaced 
cursing of the big three suppliers." ....... < partial quote >

This item has a longer description, as well as a list of bidder questions.

Indeed a rare, and useful, OEM factory tool.
