Hmm. I have a pertronix in my 76 - original distributer (I checked the numbers). The original Lucas parts had previously been replaced by an Allison one (now Crane) that was not doing too well. Been in teh car for well over a year now without any problems.

When I got my 76, it had been converted to an older disty that does not have the electronics, just the plain old points. Pertronix does have a kit for the older Spits. It works very well and is a big improvement, especially starting. I have had mine for about 4 years. So look for a Lucas 45D4 distributor, Part number RKC0638, or equivalent. Perhaps other models will fit, such as Midgets.
