I've had a number of miscellaneous questions for quite some time,
with no real source for answers, until now. In no particular order, here
they are:
1) Is there some advantage to the aftermarket electronic ignition
kits (and increased voltage coils), such as the Allison, over the stock
mechanical distributor,
2) is it possible to fit tire sizes other than 165 x 14 on the
original Rostyle rims (other sizes are more widely available),
3) in simple terms as possible, what does the gulp valve do (and
what happens when it no longer does what it's supposed to do),
4) is there any easy and inexpensive way to salvage an old fuel tank
that has brown varnish-like gunk on the sides that is now plugging the fuel
pump filter (non-original filter naturally),
[I've come up with a temporary solution that I've been using for
quite some time, though the legality of it is doubtful. Ever seen fuel
tanks for outboard boat engines....]
5) what kind of gas mileage is normal for a standard MGB ('72)
with no modifications, and no overdrive?
That's all I can recall at the moment, but I'm sure there are
more. Knowledgeable answers to higly speculative suppositions welcome.
Thanks!

say this: though starving, hunger will not weaken us; though diseased,
illness will not cripple us, and though weary, exhaustion will not claim
us. We can fight knowing that all true Reiklanders will forevermore
honour our valiant gesture of defiance, even though our bodies be left to
feed the beasts of carrion.
Mind you...we could always surrender." -Rick Priestly's Siege
