The 59D4 is a Lucas Distributor.  It accepts LU243 Pertronix Ignitor.  We
sell Ignitors and stock that part.  We have always had good fortune with the
product.  We have never had any conflicts with Smiths Tachometers using the
product since the tach receives its pulses from the coil.

Previously, we sold Lumenition for years.  We were happy with that product
too.  However, we had too many delays in receiving orders and the price was
almost twice that of the Ignitor, which although I always believe in the
axiom "British parts for British cars", is a difficult position to justify
to customers that just want things to work right.

If I can help, let me know.

Yes. You have a Lucas 59D4 distributor (4-cyl, negative earth).
The Aldon Ignitor code is 4-LU243 (same for Pertronix) - see
http://www.vintageperformance.com/retrorockets/lucas.htm
This was used on 998 Mini and Metro A+ engines from 1974 on.

The Lumenition Magnetronic code is MTK007.
The Lumenition Optronic fitting kit is FK117.
