Both are Lucas units One has a conversion unit from the "Distributor Doctor" the other appears to be identical but from eBay at a lower cost. The magnet that fits over the cam was not a snap-on fit and, in both cases, I recall having to file them to fit. It's possible to engineer this sort of conversion into the very first A7 distributors. Here's the link for this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOQl6e4hQ88 Note his comment on prices from 1:20 onwards and details of fitting the thing. I would not follow his advice about using a drill press. A correction - I'd forgotten about the one on our Ruby, that's an Accuspark unit supplied by Ruaridh and has been faultless. When warm, the engine starts if you merely glance at the starter knob.
