As usual this time of year, I am running a little behind on the really important stuff in life so I am running a little behind on my MG reading. Santa was good to the Eastman's in general but apparen

Wait a minute. I know that heat=energy, and that a car runs better at higher temps (say 200 degrees F), but how does keeping heat in help keep fuel consumption down. If I had my "ruthers," I would lo

I can't be definitive about it, but I'd say yes. I have a '67 B - 5 main bearings, and a '58 A that has a 3 bearing B engine. The A's engine seems to rev a lot more freely in the upper range. I can'

Bill: There is nothing wrong with any of our LBCs that a little more horsepower can't improve, not even in a Tri**ph, which has a leg up on an MG in this area already! (I can say this without bias, a

Much, much snipped for brevity. This is not logical to me. With overdrive, you can use six different speeds. They are 1, 2, 3, 3OD, 4, 4OD. I rather have the overdrive than a 5 speed. Also, I'm not s

Hi, Phil: Maybe it's just lack of experience on my part, but it's difficult to see the advantages of 6 speeds for everyday driving. I quess we'll never know for sure, but I believe there is, consider

Hi Dan, Your arguments all make sense to me, especially the ones about spinning additional gears in the OD. I think that the pump pumps constantly, so would not think that it alone would amount to mu

Hi Dan and List: I drive an MGB with overdrive. It is always a relief to me to engage the OD and let the engine relax. I grew up driving mostly lazy, slow-revving American engines. I have also owned
