<div dir="auto"><div>Hi all,<div dir="auto">I'm still lurking after 17 years:). Unfortunately we have sold our house and are downsizing. Therefore our "baby" has to go as we will be homeless after July 1st. The 79B has been sitting in the garage for 3 years without being driven, waiting on my lazy ass to install a new starter. That's done and it's once again licensed and running great.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Question: Years back, I desmogged it and installed HIF carbs and a points distributor from a 74 parts car. Yesterday I had the points out and they were set at .035 like the 79 manual says. It runs fine (a few years back I had it up to 105 mph; wow was that scary:), but I was wondering if the points need to be set somewhere around the .025 that the 74 manual says?</div><div dir="auto">Thanks,</div><div dir="auto">Monte 79B, Carmine $4500</div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Wed, Dec 6, 2017, 1:29 PM <<a href="mailto:mgs-request@autox.team.net">mgs-request@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Send Mgs mailing list submissions to<br>

Mailing list removal confirmation notice for mailing list Mgs<br>
<br>
We have received a request from 128.229.4.2 for the removal of your<br>
email address, "<a href="mailto:dan.dibiase@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">dan.dibiase@gmail.com</a>" from the <a href="mailto:mgs@autox.team.net" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">mgs@autox.team.net</a><br>
mailing list. To confirm that you want to be removed from this<br>
mailing list, simply reply to this message, keeping the Subject:<br>
header intact. Or visit this web page:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/confirm/mgs/071290482552585a9bea77705f3c0fd1f2317bda" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/confirm/mgs/071290482552585a9bea77705f3c0fd1f2317bda</a><br>

Or include the following line -- and only the following line -- in a<br>

most mail readers, since that usually leaves the Subject: line in the<br>
right form (additional "Re:" text in the Subject: is okay).<br>

If you do not wish to be removed from this list, please simply<br>
disregard this message. If you think you are being maliciously<br>
removed from the list, or have any other questions, send them to<br>

Nor did I receive that.<br>
The only thing I have received in months is the monthly reminder.<br>

Subject: [Mgs] MGB Front Engine Side Cover Gasket<br>

I am replacing the front side cover gasket on a 18V engine in my 1972 MGB. The cork gasket (as well as a rubber one) I ordered is 1/8 inch thick. The gasket I scrapped from the cover was paper thin. The new gasket and cover sticks way out from the motor.<br>
<br>
<br>
Is this right? I can?t imagine it won?t leak since the cork gasket is viewable and I would think become saturated with oil.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Saturated with oil? Where from?! If you mean the cork will be porous then it would be faulty, and even if it wasn't 'viewable' it would still weep. If you mean from the rocker cover then ... fix that.<br>
<br>
The cork gasket for my 73 17V is about 3/16" thick, the rubber quite a bit more than that. Neither will leak if manufactured and fitted correctly, and the covers are flat, and their surfaces and the block surfaces are smooth. <br>
