Re the thread on carb or manifold vacuum for distributors. The Authoritative answer is, It Depends. At least so far as the MGB is concerned, there were many different revs of carb and advance mechani

This is in reply to some of Will Zehring's inquiries. I've owned a TD ('52) since 1976. Much of the bad stuff is too true, but it _doesn't matter_. Slow? Yes. They have about a 5.1 rear end. Quick of

Taper joints. Words to strike fear and loathing into any soul, and that's just for the small ones (tie rod ends, etc). When they get big, one enters a whole new realm of terror. The Aston Martin DB2

I am about to drop an OD tranny into my 1973 MGB. The tranny seems to be of appropriate vintage, since it has an LH OD (black label). After going down some false paths, I have divined that the curren
