Your MGA is a Mark II, which would have the 1622 motor and a 4.1 rear
end. Certainly a better ratio on the highway than the earlier MGA's, but
not quite a 3.9 of an MGB.

As does mine. The extra boost from the 1622, particularly over the 1500,
doesn't hurt either. Although I've now slotted in an MGB motor, which
didn't really give a noticeable improvement in hp from the 1622.
