I was only joking, thought I'd get all the jokes covered in one post.......
I too have a new repro harness, and everything that was Lucas, still is on my
3000. Distributor with points, starter motor, generator etc. No high torque
starter, no alternator, no Mallory electronics.
It all works. It's all been rebuilt, but it's all Lucas.

loom, I have never had a problem with the electrics, and the headlights are
perfectly adequate. It's a very simple system, easy to work on and maintain.
Given that most of the critical components in my car are almost 60 years old,
it's doing ok. Now the Fiat 124BC I once owned......oh dear :)

electricity systems are worse or better than any other electrical system of
the time. I've had a number of other cars with other electrical systems, and
have had exactly the same problems as with the Lucas equipped cars.
