Hey all!
Well after 5 long years of sitting in a garage I rebuilt the carb
,put new spark plugs in and flushed the fuel system. Turned the
key and he started! (with a new battery) My 78 MGB actually
started! I only ran him for a bit cuz the water pump was screaming
like a banshee! Also it looks like I need a new alternator, clutch
hydraulics and fuel pump! :( But the important part is he runs!
O.K. now for the question... is there an alternator from another
vehicle that will fit? The one for the B costs $110 to $150 but I
always thought an alternator is an alternator and it bolts in and
lines up.......
It looks just like the one in my old Ford escort ($50) . Anyway just a
thought....
