If the external surface of the filter is getting black and clogged then whatever it is, is getting into the cleaner from outside. This *could* be a very rich mixture but would also need an exhaust le

I had this problem when I still had the Stromberg on my '75. You likely have an exhaust leak at the manifold. Mine was the junction between the manifold and the pipe, you probably have a Cat in that

Check the gasket between the manifold and the catalytic convertor. This gasket often blows because of either the wrong type (for example, Moss sells a paper gasket, and it should be a thicker one wit

I took Barney's suggestion about double nutting the manifold-to-cat junction using stainless steel nuts, since he said the brass nuts can't be torqued very much and come loose with age and heat. Min

Another basic question. Got a new air filter, the other one was about 10 years old. Does the rubber end of the filter, the one that would be pointing toward the radiator, go inside the canister or do

After three weeks I changed my 1980 MGB Zenith Carbs to SU 135's. I purchased a new fair of KN air filter from Moss Motors. I was told the these would fit. When bolting on the rear filter the chrome

You do not say which KN's you bought. Are they the replace emtn filters for the stock SU air filter cans or are they the conical filters? The conical filters are what people have been using to fit ar

Hi Thomas, I put a pair of Longflo's (half-moon shaped) on my HIF's and had the same problem with the rear one as you. I just creased the chrome outer cover a little to get around the vacuum boost. I

FWIW, when I changed my '76 to SU's, I had the same problem as you. So...I took the rear filter and reduced its width on a band saw by ~ 1/2 inch. I know one argument against doing this is that the

When I did my swap, I had to use thinner spacers as well as the conical K&N filters. Everything fit, although the other thing to be aware of when using the thinner spacers is that you've got to make

I changed my 1980 MGB to SU AUD 135". The rear filter next to the power brake is rubbing the cone filter. I have been told that this is the correct filter by two persons. I have done everything I cou

Thomas, I had the same problem on my 79. I just creased the stainless mesh where the booster rubbed and it has been fine for several years. It only takes a slight indentation to clear. I have new eng

That's what I do as well. However, he says he has a cone filter. Which implies the K&N tapered filter. Which should clear. The Chicagoland MG site, shows using shims on the engine mount to lean the e

If this is the K & N cone type filter it fits in most installations. Once in a while the tolerances in the engine mountings may stack up enough for it to rub. Many late MGBs had flat sheet metal spa
