I tested my MGA 's capacity to cool by running it at approx. 65-70mph during an 80 deg.F day. Sure enough the temp. gauge rose to about 200 deg.F. Upon arriving home I switched off and carefully remo

Went through the exact thing with my Mark II. I sent the whole gauge unit and sensor unit to Nisonger for rebuild. They put a new sensor and wire on it and rebuilt the gauge. It cost about $100 3 yea

As your gauge is mechanical and is reading but off to some extent, you can re-calibrate it yourself. Questions 1) Were you able to remove the pressure cap without scalding yourself? Usually if the t

I had some questions on the operating temperatures reached (about 213 - 220 deg.F) in hot weather with the MGA. Since raising these questions I have ordered some Water Wetter as recommended by somein

For what it is worth - I talked to a fellow here in Daytona Beach who put a/c on both his Midget & MGB. He said making a shroud was the single most important feature he had found to keep those engin

<snip> When do you achieve these high temperatures? If it is in traffic, then I would think that a shroud would help a lot, but if you are talking about highway driving, a shroud would not help becau

But remember we're talking A's here. The aerodynamics at speed make it hard for air to go through the grill, so perhaps the fan shroud would make a significant difference. A club member told me that

Running with no grill WILL help, if I remember right it's good for atleast 10 degrees. Just after I rebuilt the motor on the 1600 I ran it around without the grill and the temp was great, when I put

Ed, I have looked ahead for previous answers and will add, the shroud is done by almost all manufacturers. Adding proper shrouding in front and behind the radiator will make a lot of difference at s

To the group, This is a time honored practice with us t-type owners as well. Your cooling greatly improves if you have a 50/50 ratio to the grill slats, that is, looking at the front of your car you

The old MGA overheating problem eh? I have seen many MGA racers with every other grill slat removed! I've bent open my slats. I have an original grill. The original has fairly open slats. Repro's ar
