[Mgs] Still working on MGA

[Glenn Schnittke]

And I've gone as far as to use braided solder wicking to replace that 
successfully. As usual, it was all about amperage. I, too have had that 
happen when the ground wire inside the diz slowly came off its moorings, 
as well as the alternator wires slowly breaking one by one.

"One the carbs are set, if anything goes wrong, it's electrical."

Not likely, but the advance springs might be worn.
