Dear listers, Today I dared to switch the starter after more than 8 years of standstill. I must say it was a special moment! The engine cranked a bit slow when the spark plugs still were in, so I rem

How long did you crank the starter before you stopped. It takes several seconds of cranking before the oil pump engages. When I put my motor back together I thought I had a problem as well. My father

Unless it changed between 1966 and 1971, the oil pressure gauge is controlled by real live oil fed from a pipe that comes from the block just behind the distributor. Skye -- 1966 MGB The MGB Experien

The guage went electrical at some point between 66 and 71. The sender is located just below the engine id tag. It is a cylinder with a small oil pipe coming out of the rear into the block and the ot

I totaly agree with Skye, never the less there is a live cable that come out of the sensor where the oil pipe from the guage connects to the engine oil outlet that goes to the gauge. When I first got
