48Super Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) For anyone who has has the misfortune of releasing the "magic smoke" from an automotive electrical component, you'll be glad to know that replacement "smoke"is now available from none other than Lucas Electric (who else?) . Stock up now! Note: Universal smoke, good for both AC and DC circuits. Edited February 7, 2021 by 48Super (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Wish this was available when I was daily-driving my '52 XK-120MC, '58 TR-2, '56 TR-2, and Morgan Barrel-back Trike. When I assembled my Lotus Super-7, I took extra caution, and didn't have more problems, but it wasn't much of a daily driver, either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 All electrical equipment runs off magic smoke. If you let the magic smoke out, it won't work anymore. That's how I explained basic powerplant theory to many a young Operator trainee. And it was enough to get them started!🏭⚡ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Found the simple answer to Lucas electrics was Delco. Takes about 10 minutes to reverse the diodes in a 10DN to produce positive ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike "Hubbie" Stearns Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 It’s not magic smoke, it’s safety smoke. It lets you know when something is wrong and to kill power before it’s too late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 My experience has been if the smoke got out it was already too late!🙃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
