The rest of North America was a year later.  That is not differentiated in the
Parts Catalogue.

This is interesting.  The part arrived last night ("Gas cap, 1975 MGB w/
single carb and no cat") and didn't fit my car ("1975 MGB w/ single carb, no
cat").

I'm returning it today, replacement ("Gas cap, 1970-74,76-80 MGB") will arrive
as soon as Monday.  I called Moss to let them know, and they looked up the
part.

It applies to two cars:

* 1975 MGB, Single carb, no cat
* 1975 California model Midget 1500 (with a car number range)


The sales guy said he'd have somebody look into it further, but my guess is
that either the cap doesn't apply to the B at all, or the description should
say it applies to the 75 B *with* cat.

I really do need to pick up Clausager at some point.
