Yeah, I think they are still in business, but if you are concerned about
what kind of service/support you can expect if you experience a problem with
their products, get in touch with me and I'll let you know my experience
with a brand new defective splined hub.

Do yourself a favor and spring for genuine Lucas distributor cap and
plug connectors. Get solid (copper) core wires and make your own
secondary wiring. The plug connectors will have 15K ohm resistors to
help suppress radio noise, and any plugs you can get will likely have
additional resistance (I've had good performance from Champion RN12YC).
Don't think you can get the Lucas cap from Moss (not sure--I got mine
from Hemphill's--they still in business?), but if you get wire and plug
boots they'll send a sheet listing the correct lengths for each wire
(check with the salesman). For authenticity, get the two rubber O-rings
to group 1&2 and 5&6 wires (any suitably sized O-ring should work).
Wouldn't hurt to use silicone dielectric grease inside all connectors
(at cap and plug boots). I bought the little yellow rings with the
plug#--helpful plus they look cool. Of course, this is for a "stock"
setup; if you get a newer style cap with push-in connectors you can run
newer style wound wires.
