YUP... well at least on my "older" MGB's, this type of activity usually
leads me to find out that the high tension spark lead from the coil to
the distributor is touching (grounding out) on the oil filter or the
distributor body... often the insulation where the tension leads connect
together (that is if they do that on your car... and they are not one
piece) will be pulled back from the slip connector and the bare metal
will contact up under the oil filter where it can't be easily seen ( a
tricky little Lucas-Ism) ... if not that check other elctrical
possibilities in regards to the distributor HT Circuit.. otherwise.....
