Hello to all!

I just recently acquired a 1979 MGB (a gift from my wife, believe it or not), 
and 
I've really enjoyed driving it the week or so since I got the plates for it.  
Having just 
found this mailing list, I'm already gathering some useful information, for now 
or for 
future reference.  Great list!

There is one thing I need to get resolved, something that might even keep it 
from 
passing the North Carolina safety inspection:

The right turn signal does not work when the headlights are on.  

It works fine when all lights are off, or when just the parking lights are on.  
It does 
blink a little slower than the left turn signal in these cases, but it works.  
(Maybe a 
clue?)  However, when the headlights are on, the right rear turn signal lamp 
stays 
on, and the right turn indicator on the dash stays dimly lit.  This is without 
the turn 
signal stalk being engaged.  Flipping it makes no change. Weird.  

Now, the right side high-beam does not work, either, but I hope that has 
nothing to 
do with this.

Any help appreciated.  Keep in mind I'm an MG newbie, and know very little 
about electrical systems.  Thanks in advance!
