Concerning three point harnesses on LBC's. My autocross club specifically FORBIDS the use of three or four point harnesses with an open car unless the car is equipped with a roll bar. I assume that t

All of this talk about performance had gotten me to thinking again (even though I should know better by now). All of this talk about point bounce at high rpm, larger plug gaps, filters and headers gi

Crimping vs soldering. I solder because crimps are only as good as the crimp tool. Most of us don't own really good crimp tools. soldering, provided you use resin core wire, resin flux, and enough he

I know that, being on the digest, I am probably late on this and am just prolonging a thread beyond its natural life span but: The MGA actually has quite a bit of room in it. However, the doors are v

I would look at the battery connection. Many times a poor connection at the battery will allow small current draws but will go "open" when a large draw, such as the starter, is applied. My guess is t

Small engines naturally make more hp per liter. If you solve the engine power equation, holding everything constant except a "characteristic length = L" then you will find that power output varies i

The reason that the intake hose is important for cooling an MG is that, if it is missing, cool air can bypass the radiator throught the hole. Flush the system. Make sure your fan clutch works if your

Nowadays, I carry a very short list of tools for the most part. That list is... Nothing! I don't event carry a spare. Wnen I am going longer distances or I an going to race, I will take along the bas

Has anyone replace main bearings in a 1600 without pulling the engine? My chief concern is the front bearing. It looks like there are two bolts into the saddle from the front that hold on the engine

One more thought on BC Week. When I am out driving my A, people point and wave but most won't walk up and take a look. I guess they are too used to Corvettes with motion sensor alarms. However, on Su

Well I got the pan off the A last night about 10pm. It looks too clean in there to be 35 years old! As usual, the job as originally defined has changed slightly. I have decided to leave the rocker ar

I pulled two rod caps last night and the rod bearings show nothing but copper. The jornals look pretty good although I think I might polish one of them. There is an area about 1/4 inch wide at the ce

I believe that we are guilty here of perpetuating a myth. While it is true that bias ply and early radial tires could have their contact patch influenced by tire pressure, modern steel belted tires a

I have the bottom of the A apart now. All four rod bearings were in similar condition- almost all babbit gone, copper showing everywhere. Luckily, the copper had not worn through anywhere so there wa

I pose this question based on my experience. I have now owned two B series engines with around 70,000 miles on them. They both had low oil pressure. Upon dissassembly, both had all of the babbit worn
