Largest global stock of Lucas distributors

Meticulously calibrated for road and competition specifications

Individually built and precisely tuned on our Sun distributor testers

For all your LUCAS distributor needs

Welcome to Distributor Doctor

We rebuild customers genuine Lucas distributors all day, every day.
We also supply and build new old stock (NOS) or replacement genuine Lucas distributors if a donor is not available or incorrect.
We manufacture the necessary high quality parts to ensure correct function and reliability.
Many vehicles are fitted with wrong and totally inappropriate distributors - these are often low quality copies of the originals.
In most cases, neither the advance curves nor vacuum characteristics bear any relevance to the vehicles they are claimed to be suitable for. They are potentially very detrimental to the health, performance and longevity of your engine.
This can cause awful running problems, pinking, overheating, lack of power, and poor fuel consumption, resulting eventually in severe engine damage.

SHOP DISTRIBUTOR PARTS

To enable our rebuilding activities, we stock a comprehensive range of quality components, many of which  we have re-introduced after being unavailable for many decades.  
We also have many original Lucas NOS parts and other consumables that are not available elsewhere.
All these parts are of the highest quality and used by us on a daily basis.
If you do not find the part you need, please contact us, as we'll probably have it.

REPLACEMENT DISTRIBUTORS

If you do not have a donor unit, we have a large stock of original new old stock (NOS)  Lucas distributors and a vast stock of used donor units, so can supply virtually any Lucas distributor required for any application.

We can correctly label, number and date them so that they are imperceptible from the original factory fitment.

Warning

Please be aware that the marketplace is flooded with low grade reproduction copies of the original UK Lucas distributors. In most cases, neither the advance curves nor vacuum characteristics bear any relevance to the vehicles they are claimed to be suitable for. They are potentially very detrimental to the health, performance and longevity of your engine. We work only on original UK made Lucas distributors and produce a top quality, accurate, long lasting distributor at a fair price.

Feedback from our customers

Just had my Morris 8 distributor delivered . Thanks, it's like new and better than I hoped for.... Fantastic job

Clive

Fitted it and amazing difference, engine pulls through like it should and harshness at revs has gone, very happy to say least! Guessing cheap Lucas look-a-like I had probably not advancing properly so effectively engine retarded at higher revs hence harshness, hopefully no serious damage done.

Hi DD Dizzy fitted and tested on a trials site locally - all working perfectly, misfire cured and performance enhanced! Thank you - great service

John F Feb 2025

Thank you for the time, skill, experience and work done on my distributor - I am delighted. Now reinstalled, started first attempt and engine running sweetly. The distributor has transformed the performance of the engine and car, throughout the rev and load range. Words like responsive, lively, smooth come to mind, instead of previous reluctance, uncertainty and hesitation.

Nigel C

Pleasant surprise, about an hour ago the package arrived containing the distributors and the other parts. What a simply superb piece of equipment, it is beautifully restored and I am delighted with everything. I intend to show it to my friends who have older British cars and suggest that they should deal with you for ignition components.

Barry P

Just a quick line to say I have fitted the distributor and the engine is transformed! Many thanks did your efficient and professional service. Kind regards Peter L.

Sensational job! Thank you, beyond my highest expectations.

Philip T

Having received the restored distributor I can see the workmanship is excellent, a first class job compared to others I have used previously. I appreciate the attention to detail, including the refinishing of the components - not just 'wire brushed'.

Scott

Many thanks for the distributor you sent me last week along with the coil you sent me a couple of weeks ago. Both items have transformed the car and are a terrific example of your knowledge and experience - I am eternally grateful for the great work and excellent service you provide; couldn't be more grateful!

I just wanted to say thank you for an excellent and speedy response to my first order from you for a Distributor Cap, Rotor Arm and Contact set for my 1969 MGC. I received the delivery the day after ordering and am very impressed with the quality of the parts which I have fitted and noticed a great improvement to how the engine runs.
