In the process of getting the '71 MGB roadster back on the road, and wanted
to get folks' thoughts on some topics:

.         remove/not remove the smog equipment - will leave the Evap
canister and tubing, and the crankcase vent tubing, but contemplating
removal of the pump, hosing, air rail, gulp valve, and associated rubber
hosing.  

.         prothane polyurethane (red), or polyurethane (black), or rubber
bushings (V8 for front) for the suspensions.  Past discussions lean towards
rubber, but am willing to sacrifice some ride quality for improved wear and
durability of the poly

.         single 12 volt - assume just need to:

1.       connect ground cable to body

2.       run hot cable directly to solenoid?  Looks like 4-5' run?  Anybody
know exact, or have a part number?

 

Am sure there'll be more questions as I continue this adventure.

 

Thanks
