Jon,
Mog, as I see it, is also short for "Moggie". A slang for a Morgan. Have
also been told that moggie is also a Brit slang for a cat. "MOG" could also
stand for many things, such as: "My Orgasmic Grin" when driving in said
conveyance! (When not spitting out the bugs between the teeth).
You won't find too many shop manuals, as such. And since I have a 4/4
Competition, I agree that it's a pity you don't have the other engine....
Happy Morganeering on the Left Coast!
