Re: Oil Pressure Sender/hose (score: 1): Author: "Phil Bates" <jello@ida.net>; Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2005 13:22:37 -0700 (MST); I'm not 100% sure on this, because I have an early B, and an A - both of which use the actual oil in that hose as their sending unit, but......the way the flex hose works, the flare internal to the f; /html/mgs/2005-03/msg00137.html (8,505 bytes)
42. Re: Moss Headers (score: 1): Author: "Phil Bates" <jello@ida.net>; Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2005 15:18:05 -0700 (MST); Somehow I missed something here. Several years ago I put an MGB header on my 3-main MGB motor that is in my MGA. It fits, but is a pain to get around the steering rack - but it can be done, and I've; /html/mgs/2005-03/msg00142.html (7,996 bytes)
43. Re: MGB Fuel Mileage (score: 1): Author: "Phil Bates" <jello@ida.net>; Date: Thu, 24 Mar 2005 11:03:53 -0700 (MST); I think it depends a lot on your tuning abilities. You can get 30, in good tune and with an engine in good condition. I'm up a bit in altitude (at 4800 ft) and I only get 22. Most of my driving is on; /html/mgs/2005-03/msg00235.html (8,696 bytes)
44. Re: MGB Fuel Mileage (score: 1): Author: Phil Bates <jello@ida.net>; Date: Sat, 26 Mar 2005 10:03:25 -0700; What I mean is that I need to do some adjustments to the OD system. I'm not really sure what is wrong yet, and as it's cold, I haven't tried that hard to track it down. Generally, though, I drive 22; /html/mgs/2005-03/msg00251.html (9,718 bytes)
45. Re: clutch problem (score: 1): Author: "Phil Bates" <jello@ida.net>; Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2005 10:38:42 -0700 (MST); I forgot to remove the trailer, so this probably hadn't made it to the mg I don't recall all the details from last fall, but the key question is if your system is bled, and functioning properly.

46. Re: Under bonnet temp (score: 1): Author: "Phil Bates" <jello@ida.net>; Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2005 15:07:36 -0700 (MST); I used 3M 08088 weather strip adhesive on mine, and have had it on there for 4 years. The climate here (in Idaho Falls, Idaho) is pretty brutal. Our highs in the summer rarely exceed 95, but we have; /html/mgs/2005-02/msg00154.html (10,023 bytes)
47. No Steering (score: 1): Author: Phil Bates <jello@ida.net>; Date: Wed, 23 Feb 2005 19:42:19 -0700; Well, it wasn't really no steering, just not much steering. I was driving, and apparently (unknown to me) only had one bolt left on my driver's side shock absorber (which is also the upper A-arm). Th; /html/mgs/2005-02/msg00253.html (7,247 bytes)
48. Re: Nuts and Grease Gun (score: 1): Author: "Phil Bates" <jello@ida.net>; Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2005 10:12:10 -0700 (MST); I'm assuming that by saying SS, you mean stainless steel. I would not use stainless on anything structural/load bearing - i.e. not on mounts or suspension or engine parts. They don't have the right s; /html/mgs/2005-02/msg00274.html (7,623 bytes)
49. Re: MGB: Bouncing Speedometer Needle (score: 1): Author: "Phil Bates" <jello@ida.net>; Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2005 10:14:37 -0700 (MST); This is a pretty common problem. It is usually attributed to the speedometer cable and/or the angle drive (if you have one). My past experience is that you can correct it with a new speedo cable, but; /html/mgs/2005-01/msg00107.html (7,745 bytes)
50. MGB in the snow (score: 1): Author: Phil Bates <jello@ida.net>; Date: Sat, 08 Jan 2005 12:07:34 -0700; What a day. We're supposed to have the snow storm or the century - well so they said two days ago. This morning, I woke up to 1 inch. It was nice out.

Re: Ignition Timing (score: 1): Author: "Phil Bates" <jello@ida.net>; Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2004 09:31:44 -0700 (MST); If you've had the distributor out recently, the gear could have pulled up when the distributor was out, and it may or may not have dropped back in the proper teeth. That would offset it somewhat. Th; /html/mgs/2004-12/msg00008.html (9,567 bytes)

That is one of the easiest things to do to make it easier to change gears. Even with that, though, the gears aren't necessarily going to b; /html/mgs/2004-12/msg00378.html (8,809 bytes)

The one I remember most only scraped on one side though, so they could have had a little misalignment on the car. I'd think that a 1; /html/mgs/2004-11/msg00148.html (9,289 bytes)

Re: Speedo reads low after overdrive conversion (score: 1): Author: "Phil Bates" <jello@ida.net>; Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2004 10:19:22 -0700 (MST); I'm not sure about your particular year, but for many years, an OD speedo has a different gear ratio than a non-OD speedo.
