<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">”Lucas” parts in green boxes are Lucas in name only. AFAIK, They have nothing to do with the original Lucas parts that were in our Triumphs back in the day. Those Lucas parts were as good or better than any of the other electrical suppliers of their time. </span>

List,

Thank you all for your recommendations. I got my spare parts and tools together and started with replacing the rotor. It was new but the riveted type and I know those are problematic. Put my spare red rotor in and voila, a fine running 59 TR3A. I spent more time getting my spares together than the time it took to switch the rotor. How do they still sell Lucas logo black riveted rotors. Should be a law against those. So appreciative of everyone’s help.

Attached pic of the happy owner with his new car. It came from a Morgan dealer in Illinois. They sold it on consignment. Stated that is was restored about 13 years ago. After inspecting, I concur, it was done by someone who knows Triumphs. Lots of correct details and parts.

When no spark on Lucas's Ignition, 1st thing I do is swap to another rotor. Then follow normal diagnostics.
