[Healeys] Chrome Lucas Sport Coil

[Mark Donaldson]

Lin,

In the seventies you could buy a chrome dress-up sleeve, from dealers
here in Auckland, that was an interference-slide-fit over a stock HA12
Lucas coil.  I assume they were imported so would have been available
in other countries, including the US.

So, whilst they were not original, you could well have seen one on a
car and, without close inspection, might have assumed it was a stock
item.

Cheers

Does such a thing exist? I swear I have seen them on cars before, but
I cannot
find a source for one.

I have seen the chrome flamethrower coil. It's nose (where the coil
wire
connects to coil) isn't quite the same as the Lucas or Intermotor. It
is a
larger diameter and the terminal inside the "nose" is recessed farther
than
the Lucas or Intermotor. I also think Powerspark makes a chrome body
coil that is claimed to be the Lucas Sport Coil equivalent.

Anyway, just curious.
