You'll be sorry :-) I sorta replaced the fuel tank sending unit in my 69 MGB about 2 years ago. What I actually did was to take it all apart and wind up putting the old one back in. Anyway the story

So do I but from a rather different perspective. I own a '69 MGB which I bought 3 years ago for $ 1750. I figured it was not a bad price for a convertable that ran OK. In the last 3 years I have put

It's not all that clear what your describing here, but if the problem is what I think it is, I would proceed as follows: Remove the top pin. Carefully pound the sheet metal around the top pin hole f

I'm not sure it's possible to re-calibrate a speedometer. I've never taken one apart, but I beleive there is some arrangement involving a spinning magnet. The reading is a function of how fast the m

At last, someone with the same problems that I have (Including no garage!) My 69 MGB has had rear axle clunk since the day I bought it nearly three years ago. I can think of quite a few things that

Yea, I live in florida, where in the summer it can ran *every* day, and I have no garage to keep my B in. You people with garages have no appreciation of the effect of weather. I have to put the top

Someone on the list recently asked for advice on restoring cars. I am reminded of a Broom-Hilda cartoon strip that someone gave me many years ago. I've long since lost the cartoon itself, but can at

The thermostat was probably taken out when the car was operating in a hotter climate. Down here in florida, in the summer, my 69 MGB will start to overheat when I get stuck in traffic. It's never pe

What I used to do at this point would be to pull all the spark plugs out and crank the engine for 30 to 60 seconds, to see if oil pressure light would go out. Then put the plugs back in and start th
