Subject: Re: DB Lagonda spark plug caps
Hi Peter,
Already asked Distributor Doctor re V12 distributors; unfortunately he only works on Lucas types.
Regarding the Voltage Regulators, my understanding is that pattern replacements have a pretty poor reliability record. The RB106 regulator comes up frequently as new old stock on ebay.
Likewise I'd avoid pattern rotor arms. My LG6 currently has 1 distributor & 1 coil. When I bought the car, the coil ignition wasn't working. Soon found the new "Park" rotor arm had burnt through. No worries, another new one made by Park amongst the spares. That lasted 500 miles. Fortunately the original, but very second-hand Lucas rotor arm was also with the spares. Still working fine.
