Hello All, My '77B will not start. It turns over, has good compression, the fuel pump is pumpin', the carb is receiving the fuel, and my coil is receiving the 12 V from the battery, though I don't kn

Thirty years ago I had an MGA that would mysteriously die for no apparent reason at all. I would either leave the car or wait for 30-60 minutes and it would start and run for days or even weeks with

That heater valve is a miserable piece of engineering. If it ever shows any signs of leaking, it will leak worse when you are driving, the engine is hot and there is pressure in the cooling system t

A weak spark can be caused by a bad capacitor. A bit difficult to do an absolute check without a capacitance meter, but if you connect a spare plug to the king lead from the coil and lay it on the bl
