161. Do MGB's and TD's have Harmonic Balancers? (score: 1)
Author: "Bob D." <bobmgtd@insightbb.com>
Date: Sun, 19 May 2002 22:59:12 -0500
My brother just had the Harmonic Balancer on his old Ford truck replaced. Never having heard of such a part, I found out a little about them on the internet. Is there's such a part on our MG's? I und

I'd like to check the accuracy of the timing mark on the engine pulley. Would a simple stick down the spark plug hole be adequate for finding TDC? If not, what would it take? Bob Donahue (Still stuck

I'm so happy with the Pertronix Ignitor on my B, that I'd like to go "pointless" on my TD. Does anyone know what is available for the XPAG? Anyone have "pointless" experience with the T series? Bob D

Hurray, I managed to order the correct Pertronix Ignitor for my car. I'm still not absolutely sure which cam I've got (you can go blind starring at the outlines in the shop manual - symmetric, asymme

The improvements I'm seeing with the Ignitor might be due to the worn bushings Peter talks about. Both my B and TD have 100K+ on distributors that have never been rebuilt. The timing mark jumped arou

I too carry the old parts in the trunk, just in case. But there's another way of looking at part failure here. When the electronic ignition fails, it will most likely just plain quit. Points can go

This no fuse philosophy is used on battleships. When a battleship goes into battle they throw switches across the fuses, effectively taking them out of the circuit. The thinking is that minor shorts

If you're serious about radio reception, make sure the replacement antenna base makes good electrical contact to the car body (from underneath of course). Just a tip from an old radio engineer. Perso

Maybe one could infer the proper ride height from old pictures of the cars when they were new. With a ruler and a good side view, one could measure the center of the wheel to the chrome strip and fin

The size radio the MGB takes is known in the trade as "single DIN". This is a very popular standard size to this day. (But not with our domestic car manufactures. The big three have no standard radio

The wires may be old, but from what I've seen the insulation is a lot tougher than what passes for insulation today! This is just my personal opinion. The master disconnect switch is probably a good

There's a lot of talk on TV about ramping up gasohol production (in the wake of the middle east hostilities). I've been avoiding it, in my MGs. Does it cause any problem in our old cars? Bob Donahue

A think some MGB owners are incorrectly assuming that they can use regular just because the engines are four cylinder. The shop manual specifies 98 RON octane for the HC (8.8:1) engines and 93 RON oc

This may sound crazy, but it seems to me that the MG T series cars have the engine closer to the middle of the car than the so called modern "mid engine" sports cars. I didn't measure, but I bet the
