Doug, you have to realise the Lucas wiring there was produced right at the time the UK went metric, so it could be either, or more likely a mix of both metric and imperial. Then this is added it to a metric car with an imperial engine. I'm sure you are aware that metric and imperial voltages are not compatible :p
