This video is an absolute godsend haha, there's very little information about the lucas ignition system on YouTube so thanks for that. But ill probably be switching to the mobek independent system as it is basically modern reliable ignition and fueling without all the vacuum operated nonsense

After a great deal of effort with my 89’XJS that would also turn over though the fuel pump was working, their was a spark, and working distributor, turned out the ECU computer in the trunk near the antenna was bad. Took me three months to figure it out and $$ with my Jag mechanic.

Great info keep it on the road

2:20 "And I know with the age of this [the spark amplifier], I wanna rebuild it regardless of anything else." - While I do understand what you're saying here, this approach has severely bitten me just a couple of weeks ago. The Volvo of my partner was misfiring, so he diagnosed that it was one of the ignition coils (by swapping two and seeing if the misfire goes to the other cylinder as well). I recommended to replace the gasket under the VVT solenoid, which has a little screen that often dirty. He cleaned the VVT solenoid as well and replaced the ignition coil and when the car was started, it ran absolutely terrible and wasn't really able to hold idle. But now we had a problem: We possibly introduced another problem to the one we already had! In the end nothing was faulty, but the car just had really unfortunate adaptation values stored in the ECU. We unhooked the battery for 10 minutes and afterwards the car ran and idled fine. But we learned: Don't introduce new variables, because then you don't know what to look for 😅

The resistors on the little box on top of the intake

My 1984 V12 has the one coil as per your video, but also another one mounted in front of the radiator away from all the heat inside the V of the engine
-
I wonder if you had similar issue I did re replacement pick up coil and link lead. The new pick up replacements seem to be wired incorrectly - compare old wiring to new before installation.

I cannot find the rebuild video of the AB-14 please direct me to it, thank you!

16:27 The rading is MOhm, which is Megaohms, not Milliohms (mOhm) :) But I'm sure it was just a slip of the tongue.

A capital m in the ohms reading is mega ohms.
