Hi Edward, welcome to the madhouse and thanks for keeping another A40 on the road. Is it a saloon or Countryman, and what year is the old girl?

It’s s a 1959 Mk1 saloon left hand drive. i also need the brake line that goes to the rear axle. i was hoping to get one that is braided.

Regarding electronic ignition the simplest version is to keep everything except the points and condenser in the distributor and just replace these with the electronic unit.
Several kits are available that come with wiring instructions - just do an online search and several will come up.
Just be sure to specify that it's for a positive earth system - assuming your A40 hasn't been converted to negative earth.
