- I recently bought a 1973 MGBGT and need some advice. The car has been sitting in a garage since 1984 (or at least that is the latest date on the license tag). The car appears to be very solid with on

- Better plan on replacing every piece of rubber on it if it's been sitting since 1984! I would change all the fluids and bring up the oil pressure before running it too. No mystery to the 12v conversi

- IMHO, keep the dual SU's. I have owned both and personally find the SU's preferable to the Weber. And with the Colortune and a balancer, when it is adjusted it stays adjusted. So many people keep mon

- I'd hate to see a '69 with those compression numbers (if it IS really healthy) get a Weber carb if the SUs could be rebuilt. Since this is a 2nd car, it might at least be fun or educational to TRY to

- With a "wooden dash", it most certainly is not complete. Not as far as being a 1969 model! The engine compression tests all came out You're doggone lucky there. At the risk of alienating certain folk

- I asked about the su's because I have had both on my 1970 and it runs much better with the weber on it. When I had the su's I was constantly having to readjust them. Since I put the weber on I haven'

- Well, I did say that was the highest price I'd seen. I must say that your's is the lowest! The point I was emphasizing was that the SUs can be put right for less than the cost of converting to the W
