I have to insure my newly-restored '63 B for a "stated value" as the book value is $500, according to State Farm. Any ideas about what a near-perfect '63 B is actually worth? -- Marc

This exact same thing happened to me on a similarly cold day when I was in high school in Missouri -- in fact, the car was even a '76 B! I'm sorry to be the bearer of ill tidings, but in my case the

Old post, sorry for the late reply: When I did my '63, I used a series of rope loops and metal bars ( a screwdriver works nicely ) to create tension by twisting. Your problem is easily solved with tw

I found myself last night with my head shoved between the fender and wheel of my MGB, trouble light in hand, pawing through the pea gravel for the tiny screw and lock washer that secure the capacitor

Anybody else out there have a knob that gets warmer in the opposite direction from its label? Did they make the switches both ways? I've already checked the dash connection and it certainly seems cor

As tight as you can get them. I can't imagine that a human could be strong enough to force knockoffs on so tightly that damage occurs to the splines, but then again, I'm pretty small and weak myself.

Okay, here's a puzzler for all you MG experts out there: When I rebuilt my B, I removed two very thin shims from underneath the rocker assembly -- the two middle cylinders. I did notice these shims l

I got under my '63 B yesterday to change the transmission fluid and notice that the connection between the exhaust pipes that lead to the muffler and the manifold seem quite loose. Is this normal? Co

Okay, so I guessed correctly - the header should _not_ be loose. This could explain why, after driving the B, I always feel slightly sick. Next question: For those of you out there with intact header
