'Lucar' would refer only to the terminals for the low-tension connections,
which are commonly called "spade disconnects" in the US (sometimes just
'spade' and/or 'disconnect') and are available in different widths (ISTR
the coil uses 1/4", which is the most common size). The coil has "male
disconnects", so the mating terminal is a "female disconnect". (Seems like
most of the females I've known are somewhat disconnected, but they think
the same thing of me, so we're even <g>)
However, I believe the original post was referring to the high-tension
connection, which is a somewhat different kettle of fish. Fortuantely, the
connector used by the Lucas Sports coil is also a common standard (in the
US at least), so you can ask at any auto parts store for a "high tension
coil teminal".
BTW, a good connection is somewhat important here, there is no way I would
rely on the rubber dust cap to hold the wires in contact, except as a
band-aid to get home.
