Product Overview

Enhance your Austin Healey's ignition performance with this premium distributor cap featuring high conductivity brass terminals. Brass is a significant upgrade over aluminium and delivers exceptional spark quality, reduced resistance, and superior long-term reliability—making it ideal for drivers who want improved running and reliability.

Brass is the most conductive metals available for ignition components, ensuring maximum energy transfer at each terminal point. The result is consistent ignition performance, smoother running, and improved engine response across the rev range.

Key Benefits

  • High Conductivity Brass Terminals
    Offers outstanding electrical transfer, reducing energy loss at the distributor and improving spark strength.
  • Superior Ignition Precision
    Produces a cleaner, more consistent spark for easier starting, smoother idle, and improved running under load.
  • Exceptional Durability
    Brass resists oxidation better than aluminium and ensures long lasting, stable performance.
  • Direct Replacement Fit
    Suitable for original Lucas 25D6 distributor units used on Austin Healey 3000 MK2 BJ7 engine no. 29F-H3563 onwards & Austin Healey 3000 MK3 BJ8.
  • Performance Focused Upgrade
    Ideal for tuned engines, spirited road driving, or owners wanting the highest-quality ignition components.

Benefits of Brass Terminals

  • Highest electrical conductivity among common terminal metals
  • Lower resistance for optimal spark energy delivery
  • Consistent performance throughout the cap’s lifespan
  • Improved ignition stability at higher RPM
  • Reduced misfires and better combustion efficiency

Fitment

Designed to suit distributors Lucas 25D6 units:

  • Austin Healey 3000 BJ7 engine no. 29F-H3563 onwards
  • Austin Healey 3000 BJ8

Limitations and exclusions:

  • Not a cure for worn distributor shafts, tired advance mechanisms, or damaged ignition leads. Those issues can still cause misfires and timing scatter.
  • Always confirm the distributor body and cap fixing style match what is fitted, especially on cars with later distributor swaps or electronic conversion kits.

What’s Included

  • Distributor cap with brass terminals (cap only)

Technical Details

  • Terminal material: brass
  • Application: Lucas 25D6 distributor units
  • Function: reduced resistance and improved energy transfer at the cap terminals

Installation

  • Before removal, note or photograph the HT lead positions to preserve firing order.
  • Inspect the rotor arm and the inside of the old cap for tracking, cracks, or carbon marks. Replace the rotor if there is any doubt.
  • Fit the new cap securely to the distributor, ensuring it seats fully and does not pinch leads.
  • Refit the HT leads firmly and check lead routing to avoid crossfire, heat damage, or chafing.
  • After installation, verify idle quality and ignition timing if any other ignition components were changed at the same time.

Why Choose This Part

For owners who demand superior performance without compromising originality, this brass terminal distributor cap provides a noticeable upgrade in both reliability and spark quality. Brass’s naturally superior conductivity ensures improved ignition efficiency and longer component life, making it an excellent investment for both standard and performance built Healey engines.

Suggested Additional Components

Pair this distributor cap with the following for a complete ignition refresh:

  • Brass tip or brass tip rotor arm
  • High quality silicone ignition leads
  • Contact breaker (points)
  • Condenser
  • Complete tune up kit

FAQs

What does this upgraded distributor cap improve?

It is designed to improve spark quality over aluminium by reducing resistance at the terminals, helping deliver more consistent ignition performance, smoother running, and improved engine response across the rev range.

Will it fit my Austin Healey 3000 MK2 or 3000 MK3?

It is suitable for original Lucas 25D6 distributor units

Is this a direct replacement or does it require modification?

It is described as a direct replacement fit for Lucas 25D6 distributor units. No modification should be required when the correct distributor is fitted.

Can this cap fix a misfire on its own?

It can help if the existing cap has high resistance, corrosion, tracking, or poor terminal condition. If the misfire is caused by worn distributor internals, damaged leads, incorrect timing, or weak ignition components, those faults will still need addressing.

What else should be replaced at the same time?

For a complete ignition refresh, pair it with a brass/copper tip rotor arm, high quality silicone ignition leads, contact breaker (points), condenser, or a complete tune up kit.
