Default Re: looking for info on Lucas Flathead distributors

There were at least two early flathead models, similar but with a bunch of differing parts. I think most common source that will give some info on them is the Ford Pilot shop manual. It is only somewhat rare as original, and I have turned up a repro too, but have no idea who reproduced it.
I do not know what other specific models used it...I have only a partial set of British Ford parts manuals. There are probably some wartime and postwar truck applications too, but literature is scarce because most of the vehicles used were Canadian without the Lucas and Solex accessories and actual British V8 production was not very large.
Also, if you find any Ford of England owner's manuals from vehicles using them, basic pictures and tuning info would be in there.
Some Lucas distributors were imported here and sold as speed equipment, hence the occasional flea market finds here.
