Enrique,
Several years ago I had the opportunity to ask Don
Garlits (aka "Big Daddy" of Top Fuel drag racing fame)
a few questions.
I asked him his opinion on the MGB; he replied:
"I've owned several of these are wonderful little cars".
I told him I had just finished an engine rebuild and
asked for any initial startup tips. He told me that
he had several old friends that worked "at the
factory" who swore on overfilling the B by at least a
quart to prevent starvation and speed drainback.
He said they had even gone so far as to fit spacers to
the dipstick tube so a quart over read full.
I was not about to argue with the man, but I have
never heard or read of this sugggestion anywhere else.
YMMV, FWIW, FDIC insured ...
