61. Rebuilding Hydraulics (score: 1)
Author: jello@dns.ida.net (Phil Bates)
Date: Thu, 24 Apr 1997 22:45:40 -0600
I have a quick question. I am rebuilding the clutch/brake master on my MGA (1500 parts). Taking apart the m.c. (something I haven't done before) it occurs to me that I should put hydraulic fluid on a

62. Using overdrive - long, detailed (score: 1)
Author: jello@dns.ida.net (Phil Bates)
Date: Tue, 29 Apr 1997 21:15:01 -0600
I am not sure if this is really 100% correct, but it seems to me (someone with a 67 MGB with overdrive and the silly vacuum switch/relay system) that there is a simple explaination. If you look at a

As an owner of a French car, I have to interject. The LeCar, yes, I doubt there are many if any road worthy cars left. The Fuego, on the other hand, I would not be surprised at all if there are some

Hate to say it, but from this description, it sounds like the Pontiac Fiero. It also claimed a certain number of golf bags would fit in the boot, but I think it's trunk was in the rear of the car. I

I have driven the Miata and didn't find it that bad. I am impressed with your statement of a car having no soul. I have often said to my friends how good a car my Honda Accord is, but almost invaria

Manifold vacuum is manifold vacuum. It doesn't really matter, but the proper location is behind the PVC valve. Are you aware of how the vacuum switch works?? It is mostly a useless option. I can go

I know Denise moved to London. I was wondering if anyone has heard from her since. It seems to me that by now (since she is now a software programmer), she would have gotten e-mail access. As you may

Yes, it is, but why would you do it?? After all, that angle drive protects the cable from unwanted stress. I guess you could buy about 8 cables or one angle drive. AND DON'T FORGET THE WASHER, IT IS

This thing can and should be recalibrated. I had a similar problem, but not quite so extreme. Calibration is a difficult task. First, you need a way to measure the actual engine speed. I happened to

I don't think so. I have a 67 MGB with a vacuum switch correctly connected. It works as described; holding you in overdrive if you have your foot off the gas. Phil Bates 58 MGA 67 MGB 75 Jaguar XJ12

I may be wrong, but I believe we are saying totally different things. There is a misperception about vacuum switches. Not many people have these switches, and is seems that those without them think

Please look at the plate again. My guess is that it says 18GGRWEH25916 or 18GKRWEH25196 both of which could be correct for a '70 B. My source is the Original MGB by Anders Ditlev Clausager. Phil Bat
