I followed Mac’s advice (“check timing 7 ways from Sunday”) to a solution. Actually it took two Sundays because the centrifugal advance of the Pertronix Flamethrower was so different from the 45DE4 that I replaced that I did not trust my measurements. The short version is that the Pertronix has much more centrifugal advance increase below 1000 RPM ...

Motorbill: Thanks for your response. I made the measurements you suggested this morning and sent a reply. However I do not see the post so let me try again. I am not too good at navigating this site.   I made the pressure and volume measurement at the output of the in-line fuel filter and with the engine off. I recently charged the battery. ...

Mac: Thanks for the response. Several of your comments on timing and the Pertronix distributor may be right on. The difficulty did begin with my changing the distributor but I have been wanting to blame something I did rather than the new distributor. I sent an email to Pertornix to get an advance curve but got no answer. I have measured the ...

First let me describe the problem and then I will give the engine particulars. My problem is very “lumpy” performance below 2000 RPM. Acceleration and deceleration are fine but the car does not smoothly hold a constant speed. Above 2000 RPM the performance smoothes out but remains irregular. It acts like there are ”bumps” in either the engine ...

Dear Techs,   I am a new owner of my first MGB 1969.  I have it for about 3 years.  It has a supposibly newly rebuilt motor which runs strong. I have read all posts, but cannot find the answer I need.   The problem:  While idling and at a stop I noticed the oil light would come on and it would want to stall ...

Hi All, Just new to the forum, and happy to be here.  Just bought my 77 MGB Roadster.  I power washed the engine compartment, it was real dirty.  I had a local detail shop do it in Boise.  We had to blow dry the distributor to get it to start at his shop.  i drove it home, started it a few times in my garage.  My ...

Hey Posters, I'm looking for a direct bolt-on replacement for seatbelts in my '72 B. It seems most of the aftermarket stuff fits only '73 and later or requires welding a second mount to the wheel arch. Anyone have any suggestions?   Thanks in advance, MattInSoCal  

Does anyone know of a correct part # for the correct antena that should go on a 1973 MGB?   Thanks Joel

Hi Everyone, A few months ago I started doing a weekly podcast on the restoration of my 1973 MG B. Prior to the purchase of the car I had little to no automotive experience with the exception of a 2 cycle engine class I had in high school(which was forever ago). Well I've always wanted an MG B and I wanted to learn more on what makes a car ...

Hi. Have just bought a 1970 B. The tacho jumps from 0 to full scale when the ignition is turned on but the starter not yet engaged. It randomly jumps from side to side. After starting it jumps randomly around where it should be reading. Sometimes it flicks around 3 or 4 thousand RPM! Any ideas?
