(w/adapter)

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.
