Now back to work and re-subscribed. Did I miss much? My car ran great throughout all of the wonderful twisties on this 1400 mile trip. Never failed me once, but warned me so I could make a fix. Water

Bill, I haven't done one of those, but did do the dual MC on my A. Pretty straight forward job. IMHO definately a home repair job. BTW, this is where learning to shift without a clutch comes in handy

One of the dealerships I am affiliated with told me all excitedly about the white B they took in on trade. Real nice car with only 27000 miles on it they said. They said they paid $5000 for it and wo

I believe that you can hook them up in the normal fashion and will not have a problem as long as there is no other connections between the two cars. More learned listers please correct if I am mista

Dave, are you talking about an A? My Heritage build sheet only states wire wheels, not whether they were painted or chromed. I don't believe that they were factory options on an MGA. Course, I could

Yup, you can blame the US car dealers again. When the dealers went to register the car with their states' DMV, they then determined what 'year' the car was going to be. This all changed when the curr

That is correct. Back then it was up to the dealer to tell the DMV what year the car was. Hence why I have seen some MK IIs' that are titled as '61s'.
