A delayed 1-2 shift *could* be a loose/worn front band. The adjuster is external, left side, just above the shifter shaft. It's a long stud with a lock nut on it. Back off the lock nit (3/4") and tu

You are correct here. All the manuals and wiring diagrams call for cold start injectors. The later cars do not have them. Since we first discussed this I've been keeping an eye open. It appears from

From the description, the most suspect components are often not original. So I must ask... what kind of 79 MGB do you have? Stromberg, SU, or Weber? Allison, Pirrana, Lumnition, or points? 23D, 25D,

Don't have a catolog handy, but Seven Enterprises used to carry lug nuts like that for various Mini alloys. Mini's (and Midgets) are also 3/8". So the only worry is the shank O.D. Ones too long can

You are missing something. True, there is a torque moment (action-reaction) induced by the engine accelerating. This will always try to move the engine block in the opposite direction as the crank ro

That switch appears to be a LdN design, as several cars used it. In the U.S. market, post Spitfires from 75 and MGBs from 77, as well as the ever present Volvos, came withe them. I'd imagine most an
