201. Valve cover paint (score: 1): Author: jtilton@vt.edu (Jay Tilton); Date: Sat, 10 Jun 1995 01:34:48 +0600; Quickie question. What type of paint should I use for the valve cover on my 77 MGB? Will regular old Krylon do it, or would I be better off using hi-temp paint? Something else? -- Jay Tilton jtilton@; /html/mgs/1995-06/msg00199.html (6,380 bytes)

Re: Fuel Injection for the MGB (score: 1): Author: jtilton@vt.edu (Jay Tilton); Date: Thu, 29 Jun 1995 08:50:48 +0600; Probably, but unless you're also fooling with your cam profile and the flow is *severely* restricted it doesn't affect performance as much as you might think.

208. Re: radio & speaker (score: 1): Author: jtilton@vt.edu (Jay Tilton); Date: Wed, 03 May 1995 06:24:52 +0600; Hee hee. A working "BMC" radio may not be so astonishing after all. These radios were aftermarket items, made in America and installed by dealers. You can bet such a radio was never touched by Lucas.; /html/mgs/1995-05/msg00020.html (6,934 bytes)

If its rocking action a little loose, that's your problem. If I remember correctly, it's a double-pole/double-throw type switch.

210. Re: SU vs Weber (score: 1): Author: jtilton@vt.edu (Jay Tilton); Date: Wed, 10 May 1995 08:33:27 +0600; Hmm. Puzzling. While I can't convincingly argue with the experience of a seasoned pro, and I'm not trying to start a "flame" war (Bwahahaha!

I stuck a piggyback spade connector onto the lighter ground, and attached the radio ground to that. I don't know if this; /html/mgs/1995-05/msg00241.html (7,083 bytes)

You're certainly putting us to the test.
