Yesterday, I finally got my 1972 MGB that I bought on eBay (can't believe I
did that).
The odometer says 52K miles and does appear to work.
Below are some initial findings, just looking for some direction:
1) Car starts fine and seems to run OK, although it seems to idle pretty
fast (about 1300 RPM). Is that a problem?
2) There are a few quarter sized holes in the drivers floor pan, should I
patch them or should it be replaced? The passenger's looks OK.
3) The fuel gauge always shows empty.
4) The wipers wipe at about 1 MPH.
5) The car has only one battery and I can see the driveway. Is that normal
or should this area be enclosed?
6) The hose going to the bottom of the absorption cannister is missing, is
this important?
7) I have no idea if any modifications were made for unleaded fuel. Is it
OK to not worry about it and just put in premium gas? All I can find is 93
octane.
Thanks.
