I was wondering when the smoke re-install kit would show up again.
I'm glad it was electrics and not the carbs like I suggested.
One of my favorite automotive sayings is "It's never the coil", until of
course it is!
The other is "Lean it out & Advance it, BOOM! What happened!?

As a native of England, I am required by British Law to take extreme umbrage
at facile denigrations of British manufacturers. Fortunately, we British
have
a great deal of compassion for the former colonies and understand the
knee-jerk jealousy that is concomitant with not being English.

That being said, thank you for your suggestions and assistance. One solution
offered was to stop making left turns! Need I say more!

I suspect that the creation of  Lucas Replacement Wiring Harness Smoke kit,
P/N 530433, along with the very rare Churchill Tool 18G548BS adapter tube
and
metering valve (so kindly mentioned by Stan, along with an actual picture
(of
the former) supplied by Mike Hudson) was intended for American Mechanics who
do not understand the subtlety of a proper  British Motor car. Again, my
condolences.

BTW, we English also have the ability to laugh at ourselves and so my
favorite
Lucas t-shirt depicts a 3-way switch. Off,Dim, & Flicker. Enough said.
