I used the existing lower radiator hose (from my '78) and a over-the-valve-cover pipe from a dual carburator MGB to attach the lower radiator hose to the heater. I installed on of those hose adaptors

Thanks for all the replies about MGB books & swapping intake/exhaust I discussed the latter with the local garage that does state safety & emmisions inspections. The short story is that Orange County

Well, based on the engine number, it should have the smog head on it. (Don't know enough about the head numbers to tell you anything based on those.) When done with allen-socket set screws, air inje

This looks like a job for Claussenger. Of course, mines at home. The H in there sure makes it sound like a high compression head though. Which wouldn't be on a '78. The air ports are very obvious, 7/

We just bought a 1978 MGB. (Hi Greg!) I've had an MGA since 1970, my wife had a 1972 MGB she bought new in 1972 but sold in 1976. She's always regretted selling it, now she has another one! I am aski

Barney (and anyone else with answers), a couple of questions about what you have on that page: 1) I would think that adding engine mount shims would put extra stress on the transmission mounts. How

I would add that if you do splice in some hard pipe, and you find that you blow it off when the radiator pressurizes, either weld a bead around the ends of the tube or solder on a copper wire, this w
