It has a new battery and new lead cables. New fuel filter/line. New spark plugs that have been checked for 25 gap. Distributor cables look and feel brand new. No fuses have been blown...unless the MG has 2 fuse boxes and I only see one.

I have noticed that the wires are quite brittle at the connection points. Perhaps a disconnect happened. The Engine shakes quite a bit while idling.
