Nycchef, please don't take any of this lucas smoke theory seriously, we jumped on a chance to have some fun. there is a great deal of humor about Lucas electronics which were installed in british cars. The junk was so bad that every time you turned a key or flipped a switch you would wait for a second and look for smoke escaping (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
