    A very good check without resorting to high tech equipment use. Someone asked, if the cap was faulty, what would you see, well, with your meter on ohms, check between lead & metal case, there should be no leakage(reading on meter) if the dielectric has broken down, it will not show an incremental rise charging on ohms, & a negative reading on the volts measurement. Like the youmg lady said; make sure youve discharged it before doing the test demonstrated. Thank you for putting this on youtube. Good stuff

    When I was a young smart aleck in auto mechanics school we'd charge one up and toss it to someone.

    Perfect. Is it a dodgy modern Lucas though? Best off buying Distributor Doctor parts… dizzy caps, Rotor arms, HT leads and condensers imho

    I have electronic ignition in all of my cars 😆 . I just tested this for fun. Not sure if it is a modern one or not

    In my day Lucas was known as PRINCE of DARKNESS ! The English drank warm beer because they owned Lucas refrigerators !

    What would we see if it wasn’t working?

    I think you would see no volts go inside when on ohms. . . . But I haven't got a faulty one to play with 😔
