In my experience, there is no such thing as a "good used" camshaft from an MGB. Everyone I've ever taken out of an engine (with appreciable mileage) was in need of a regrind, if not replacement due t

The quickest way to tell if the engine is a 3-main is by the presence of a mechanical tachometer drive. All 3 mains used in MGB's had them. If it is there, it is located on the drivers side at the b

Check the tag (solenoid cover) on your o/d unit. Is it blue or black? Your car (72) should have had a black label, requiring the 1280 speedo. If you used a blue label o/d, then your speedo is turnin

The sliding switch in the MGB o/d switch is very reliable and should give you years of use with any problems. Likewise, running the wiring up through the shifter shaft doesn't give any problems. The

Let's see now, you used 20w-50, engages great, sometimes disengages great, sometimes not? The thicker 20w-50 builds pressure quicker, hence the very quick engagement. But, the 20w-50 also bleeds pre
