Another interesting point: that early-engine 98 hp is brake hp at the
flywheel, presumably with no auxilliaries attached. At the rear wheels
it winds up being in the low 60s. And I think he was writing primarily
about British engines without. smog devices.

I don't know MGB's, but he must be talking about early cams. B power
went
from 98hp all the way down to 62.5hp (less than my Sprite, hahaha!) over
the years. The cam must have something to do with that?
