There is a very well known and respected company in the UK called Aldon
Automotive who specialise in the sort of thing you are after. They are able
to offer Lucas distributors to suit any state of tune and have even
developed their own alternative to the Lumenition system that fits entirely
within the body of the distributor.
They are on the web at

Good luck with your search...
