Paul -
Here's your May Day MG trivia. ' Ran across this several years ago when I
converted my '76 to HS4s, the choice (over HIFs) being made on the basis of
what manifolds I had in the barn. ' Just rechecked a catalog: 12H 709 was
used through 1971 (HS4 equipped MGBs). 12H 3911 was used 1972-1974 (HIF
equipped MGBs).
