I seem to remember fussiness and short lives for the older generators and
distributors (is that dynamo, in Pom?).  MGA capacitors weren't too robust
in US summer temps, either.  And carbon distributor cam rubbers?  Come on.
Your timing slipped in 500 miles at high rpm, which you couldn't hold on a
damp morning, because your spark plug wires were making a light show under
the hood.

If you mean magneto, never worked on a Lucas car magneto.  There motorcycle
parts weren't too famous, either. Fungus attacked the pressed phenolic-mat
insulation.
