Just providing info. Was emissions an issue in 1967? Smog pumps etc.
didn't start on the MGB til 1968, don't know about the Spridget (definitely
nothing visible in the photos in the article). In the '76 article, net hp
is given as 55.5. Would the California version (didn't know there was a
Cal unique version) have a lower quoted horsepower, or would they quote it
the same?
