1. Power Curve of B-Series Engine (score: 1): Author: BobMGT@aol.com; Date: Fri, 6 Oct 2000 19:19:25 EDT; Does anyone know where I can find a power curve diagram of the stock (de-smogged) B-series engine? I can't find one in any of my books. Just curious. (Good material to put in an MG web page.) Bob Don; /html/mgs/2000-10/msg00381.html (7,582 bytes)
