All this talk about MG/Honda mating has got me wondering.
Do any of you know if this has been done using real British
bodies and Japanese drivetrains. Every time my `67 MGB/GT
coughs or spits, I think about how nice it would be to have
a clean reliable Toyota or Honda engine in it. I doubt if
I'd ever do it because I'm a stickler for authenticity, but
it sure sounds good. Any thoughts on the feasibility?
On another subject, I have to say something good about the
electrical system in the car. I started it up last night at
10pm 35 miles from home and the generator light stayed lit.
Great, now what? I was feeling lucky, so I headed off. Got
home with no trouble at all, lights even stayed bright.
Checked the charging voltage - not a volt. I got up early
this morning to troubleshoot and found a brush had worn down
to the wire. The other one was almost intact. I had an extra
set in a drawer so I put them in and gave it a try. I was
amazed to find that the car started just like it always(well,
usually) does and didn't even crank slowly. Thank You Batteries!!
