Hello Rick and fellow bodies,
When I built my MGB GT V8 (none available in N America) I knew as a
non-factory built car it would never be regarded as a 'real' V8. So
some modifications were made such as SD1 gearbox and down draft Weber
(actually sold in NA as Edelbrock because brand Weber not well known in
NA!). Â Â But major 'upgrade' was point to point wiring with fuses and
solenoids as per Dan Master's design (see British V8 Newsletter May-Aug
2001) Â Thus little fear of difficult to solve electric problems
although it did mean more wire.  There had never been an electrical
problem except a high-torque starter (never buy a cheap one).  The
mechanic who looks after the car loves the wiring.
Cheers
Barrie
