Larry...yes they do make them.
I've put pertronix in nearly every spit I've ever owned.
The LU-141 and LU-142 fit the 25D and 45D dist bodies.
Regardless of EID or CID, both elec dist styles put on late
1500 Triumphs can use Pertronix modules.
One of the $$ cheaper places on the net......

Hi Larry,
Pertronix may not make a kit for the 76 as it has/had an electronic distributor.
When I got my 76, it had been converted to an older disty that does not have the
electronics, just the plain old points. Pertronix does have a kit for the older
Spits. It works very well and is a big improvement, especially starting. I have
had mine for about 4 years.
So look for a Lucas 45D4 distributor, Part number RKC0638, or equivalent.
Perhaps other models will fit, such as Midgets.
