[Mgb-v8] I have an MGB V8 question

[Paul Hunt]

I would also question whether it is missing or simply hesitating or 
flat-spotting.  The latter can be caused by an incorrect profile needle (if 
SUs or other CD carb) giving weak mixture at part throttle acceleration, 
needing full throttle to get past it.  As confirmation you can richen the 
mixture and if that cures it fit a 'richer' needle i.e. one that tapers more 
rapidly.

If misfiring which should cause popping and banging in the exhaust the other 
important question is, is the tach fluttering when the symptom occurs or is 
it steady?  If fluttering then it is an ignition LT problem i.e. ignition 
feed, coil, points, distributor ground wire, and connections between them. 
If steady then it points to HT or fuel, but could be condenser.

But without knowing what engine, fuel or ignition systems you have it is 
very difficult to advise further.
