Discovered the rust on bottom (out of sight, out of mind) of fuse holder on my first B & figured out that it was the logical cause of Lucas woes & came up with RTV fix. Also rubber booted distributor & RTV on the plug boots & sealed cap for the occasional puddle splash. Always carried spare points, cond, cap & rotor. No worries driving after dark for over 300K miles in 10 + years when they were my only form of transportation. Other mods were to convert B's to single 12V battery in trunk & use AC electrical fuel pump with a pressure regulator to the carbs. Also used Lucas centrifical advance distributors on all which made timing easier, even without using a timing light.
