1. Re: dashpot oil (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <fold@mail.bcpl.lib.md.us>; Date: Sat, 4 Apr 1998 18:32:37 -0500 (EST); What's your definition of "the proper stuff"? I don't know about the MGB owner's manual, but every other BritCar manual I've seen specifies engine oil (although the viscosity differs from one make t; /html/mgs/1998-04/msg00153.html (8,820 bytes)

A shop that still has very old mixing formula books may be able to mix to those codes, but perhap someone else on the list has more mode; /html/mgs/1998-03/msg00388.html (7,064 bytes)

(score: 1): Author: Chip Old <fold@mail.bcpl.lib.md.us>; Date: Sat, 28 Mar 1998 22:12:00 -0500 (EST); On the original coil the "CB" stands for "contact breaker" (ignition points to us Yanks) and the "SW" stands fo the ignition switch.

Certainly clean them with solvent, as you should any new part, but don't try to buff off the surface color. -- Chip Old 1948 M.G.

Re: Carroll Shelby & MG (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <fold@mail.bcpl.lib.md.us>; Date: Mon, 29 Dec 1997 11:27:13 -0500 (EST); If I remember correctly (no guarantee of that!), it was a Ford V8-60 (an ancient flathead). My first T-Type MG was a TD with a V8-60. It was poorly done, but a buddy and I got it for next to nothing; /html/mgs/1997-12/msg01888.html (7,765 bytes)

I guess I do fit that description. :-( Those are pretty typical MG prices for that period. It wasn't until the late 1970s that prices began to go through the roof.

There were several variations in color and hub design, no single one of which can be called the only correct one for a TC. The ones sold as an opt; /html/mgs/1997-11/msg01482.html (7,892 bytes)

It may look like a TF, but it's really a rebodied MGB. I drove one a number of years ago and was not impressed. Much faster in; /html/mgs/1997-11/msg01583.html (7,477 bytes)

Normally mail delivery error reports like that should go to the list owner, not to the original sender. Hey Mark, what's up?; /html/mgs/1997-11/msg01885.html (7,450 bytes)

I just took a closer look at the error message resulting from majordomo's attempt to deliver to Robert R. Davies@depts2@sweltdmk.

Internal leakage is normal. There are no seals around the float pivot shaft, so fuel is free to seep into the switch area.

The 29 lb/ft mentioned in Woody Woods' book is okay for an 8X1mm bolt if it is of sufficient tensile strength and if it is screwed into a nut, but that isn't the case here.

It stemmed from a discussion about problems some were having with bronze valve guides. Rocker geometry was sort of a side issue.
