I am getting an aluminum radiator from Wizard.  They want to put a 16 lb cap on it for an early 5 main MGB engine.  Is that going to be ok or do I need to specify more like a 7 lb?

The radiator will be fine, but the heater core might not take the pressure.

Use what the car originally had.? According to Clausager cars originally 
had a 10psi cap changing to 13psi in 76.? For 77 and the electric fans 
North America got 14psi but elsewhere seems to have reverted to 10psi.? 
In normal running they only get up to a few psi, electric fan cars 
getting up to about 10 before the fans cut in.

   I put an Al radiator in my '72 MGB and stayed with a '7 pound' cap - and
I live in the solar-oven called Houston, Texas. The new radiator is do
efficient that the few degrees of boiling point elevation given by a higher
pressure system is, in my car's case, unnecessary - plus it adds stress on
hoses, gaskets and as Mr. Hill says, the many decades old heater core.
Worth including: My MGB uses a 50:50 green antifreeze and distilled water
coolant mixture.

Wat was the pound cap supplied with the radiator? I agree with the concerns regarding how much pressure the heater cores can  withstand.

These carbs are on an mgb engine in an mga.  We acquired this project in kit form so I'm not sure what i have.

I suspect these are mga carbs?

And i don't know what to connect where.   The engine runs as is but I'm sure I'm missing something.  (Little joke there).

This is a set of HS4s. The float bowl lid indicates a later version 
(early 70s). I see a tag on the front carb but can't read the number. 
That would give you the exact model - AUD followed by three digits. I 
see a lot wrong in the picture. I can't find any of my carb pictures, 
but I'll take a few pictures later today if no one else responds.

You just fill up the float bowls with gas.  Then the engine will run on its own for a bit until they run out

The engine runs with no fuel inlet hose to the carburetors?

You might want to take out a patent on that...

Yeah, but there was no throttle cable, either, so it wouldn?t go very fast.

Here?s a picture of the rear HS4 carb in my 1971 BGT.

Looks very similar to yours.

Note the hose on top of the manifold where on Dave?s it is just open to the air.  

Also note that one of Dave?s float has three connections, one is for fuel in from the pump, one is for fuel to the other carb, and one is for ventilation.  I have mixed up the fuel in and vent lines and things have not worked well.

I managed to get a picture of my 72B setup (engine/carbs from a 71BGT) 
that shows some relevant connections, that I have attached.

Now on the original picture, I noticed a number of issues which I will 
describe, starting from the engine and working out.

The intake manifold where you have looped in two ports - the rear port 
should have a nipple to connect a vacuum tube to the distributor. Other 
port should be blocked using a fastener.

On the engine side of the carbs, each carb should have a port (5/16") to 
pull in crankcase gasses. This uses rubber tubing and a plastic-Y piece 
to then connect to the crankcase side cover. Moss shows this here:

https://mossmotors.com/mgb-017-emission-system-controls-1970-74

The front linkage for the choke - your picture shows it near the rear 
carb, should be moved towards the front carb. That is because the choke 
cable will connect to Moss 372-340 bracket so that brass lever needs to 
be close to the bracket.

And finally, the float bowl covers - they are reversed in your picture. 
The three port cover is for the front carb. That is because the 70-71 Bs 
had a steel fuel line running towards the front of the car and the fuel 
line ran off of it. Then you have another port to run a fuel line 
between the two carbs. The overflow port should point out away from the 
engine/carb. The 70-71B would run lines from these two overflows back to 
a charcoal canister. Since you are using the engine/carbs in a MGA, you 
could use the earlier piping method used on the 62-67 MGB. These are 
steel tubing bent downwards so that the tubes divert petrol overflows to 
the ground. There is a bracket that holds them to the engine block, 
available from Moss.

Steel tuning is part 67 - https://mossmotors.com/mgb-020-hs4-carburetor

No longer available but you can make your own which is what I did on my 64B.

I am not sure where the MGA fuel line would be to connect to the SU 
carb. If it is not practical to use the 71-72 method of fuel routing, 
you could use the 62-67 method, replacing the two port float cover with 
a 2 port and use a T fitting on the fuel line:

Hope this helps.

That is so true Larry. 
I do not expect the HS4 carbs on Dave's engine will have the three connections.
These were released when the Evaporate Loss system was introduced in late 1968 I think. 
Anyway, in MGB's containing a charcoal filter cannister - the black cannister filtering the fuel vapours, rocker cover vapours and crankcase vapours. 
The HS4's in my 1971 GT still are the original ones - that latest MGB's equipped with HS4's. The 1972 models were equipped with HIF4 carbs. The HS4 carbs in my GT however already were equipped with "swing needles", which were standard in HIF4. 

Cheers,
Hans

Note the hose on top of the manifold where on Dave?s it is just open to the air.  

Also note that one of Dave?s float has three connections, one is for fuel in from the pump, one is for fuel to the other carb, and one is for ventilation.  I have mixed up the fuel in and vent lines and things have not worked well.

The evaporative loss system didn't use three ports on either carb, the 
overflow ports were piped to the charcoal canister instead of dumping on 
the ground.

HIFs piped the fuel through the front carb to the rear carb, I hadn't 
seen that on HSs before.? Clausager only shows a Tee by the rear carb 
with separate hoses to each carb, but there are some MGB pictures 'out 
there' that show other arrangements.

The vac advance port was a small tube on the throat of the carb, 
crankcase ventilation that replaced the PCV valve was a large tube on 
the throat.

HD description is incorrect, float chamber is on the side like HS.? The

Hi, above link shows the discovered 230 cars in a barnfind in the

Some cars are pretty dull, but most are special and valuable.

Enjoy - btw the cars will be auctioned, so if any interest, go for it.

I am wondering if anyone has ever installed a simple trunk luck instead of the complex pull mechanism.  I have seen Barney's trunk locking mechanism, and that is my second choice.  But all of that pull mechanism is out anyway.

Install the key lock just left of center on the rear valance panel 
just below the boot lid, and connect it to the boot latch pull lever 
with a short length of chain.

Thank you Mark!? Cannot believe 32 yrs. of "Family".? The information

in a large part responsible, and yes, the losses. R.I.P.? Frank(13 yrs 
on the 11th), Paul, Jim, Ed and others I don't know about.? In their own 
way they are the pillars of the list.? It is staggering to think of all 
the people Mark has brought together through all the various lists he 
moderates.? Keep up the great work Mark...the rest of youse....send $$$$.

Sorry about this folks - I may have already sent out this bleat but my 
excuse is that I am having major laptop problems.

I seek advice on what battery to get for my built-from-scratch MGB GT 
V8.?? I think it is either a 24 or 26 ????? Are there any good ones for 
cars nearly always in storage??? Currently my car sits quietly in my 
daughters barn with a dud battery.

Cheers
Barrie

It?s Group 26 that fits in the battery box. Some of them have a flange around the base that has to be cut away. Obviously, a built-in handle helps. I find the O?Reilly house brand battery fits right.

Don?t know about long term storage? I generally manage to fire it up at least every other week.

I have a Group 24 in my '72 Tourer but it binds with the bottom of the box.
It's a 24 just because that's what I had. :-P

CB-based or RB i.e. twin 6v or 12v?

But for long-term storage either use a disconnect switch on the heel 
board which is good for a few weeks at least, or for longer term one of 
the modern conditioning chargers that monitor the voltage and add charge 
when it deems necessary.? However those can fail and you are no better 
off, and if they don't they can 'cover up' a failing battery and when it 
is off charge i.e. away on a trip the battery can let you down.? I use 
the switch, and a lithium pack for when I get a problem.

Ironically I've had to buy a conditioning charger for my 2019 MB A-Class 
as that starts giving warnings when not used for a few days.

My fuel gauge looks a little tired and I'd like to spruce it up.  is there a template out there so I can reproduce the front face?

Well said David and I just read the sad news about Jim Johnson a few
minutes ago. Now rereading I see he passed in February, sorry I didn't know
he was ill. Great Spridget men who now race with the angels Over the
Rainbow Bridge. RIP Jim.
