41. MSX Crossflow head - Was: "Modern" Improvements for the MGB (score: 1)
Author: "Nick Coleman" <coleman@sd.aonix.com>

Speaking of MSX Crossflow head. I need to do a valve job on my 73 B and thought I might upgrade to the Crossflow head. The prices in Moss ($1100) and VB ($1399 w/ valves) seem to be a bit excessive.

How important do you think the run-on switch is? I.e., is it a big deal that it isn't connected? I would think that unless you were running at a higher compression that run-on wouldn't generally be a

Just got another set of keys made for the 73B. Trunk blank was the same as used in a Jag. But, the ignition key was from a Mazda. So, maybe the Miata does have a bit of heritage after all. Nick

I'm having a problem with the 73B. Idles fine and runs great at upper RPMs (above 2500). But when I give it gas below 2000-2500 RPM, it stumbles (e.g., when I'm accelerating from a stop). The valves
