Lucas wiring......what a nightmare....IMO the connectors caused a lot of the problems because of the bullet connectors Lucas like to use. Lucas wiring systems don't have a regular male and female connector. What Lucas did was have two male connectors with a sleeve between them. The sleeve dries out, cracks, and then you have a short or gets loose then an intermittent fault and stuff turns on or off at will. They also rarely used any relays nor fuses, so all the power went through the switches, oh and their positive gound system was another POS. 1962 MG midget, been there done that and never going to do it again.
