The  problem is when accelerating it goes fine until ONE SPECIFIC SPOT where
it  flattens out. Speed is maintained but no more acceleration, you can  hear
and feel it wanting more of something, like a high speed miss. There  is a
"Sweet spot" on the throttle where it will or will not do this,  very
definitive.

Annoying problems indeed. Some causes - worn cam lobes, damper oil wrong  
weight or too little (piston flutter), fuel pump runs out of steam - try a  
higher capacity pump at least temporarily to eliminate starvation as a  possibility.
 
Try #5 or #6 needles in it if you have a chance.  MB was not, AFAIK, a  
standard needle on the MGB and that could be a problem. Easy to check out  anyway.
 
Good luck.
