1. rear end question (score: 1): Author: Bill King <kingwj@del.net>; Date: Wed, 01 Nov 2000 16:23:13 -0500; Is it possible and practical to put the 3.909:1 MGB rear axle into a MGA? The only 'official' ratios listed for the A are the standard 4.30:1 and an optional 4.555. It's my theory that a motor will r; /html/mgs/2000-11/msg00019.html (7,942 bytes)

I know when it happened to me that my car would run perfectly some days and not at all others. So; /html/mgs/2000-11/msg00036.html (9,656 bytes)
