Andy,
Near as I can tell, there is a right angle adapter coming off my MGBGT
speedometer so my cable does not make that sharp bend.  The problem I have
is that I have been unable to get my hands past the barrier of the steering
column and the heater control assemblies.  Even my channel locks were too wide.
I suspect I will have to take the time to disassemble the heater control
assembly.  My other alternitive is to take the MG to a shop & have them do it
for me.  But, it goes against my Scottish blood to pay someone for a repair
that should be easy.

While on the subject of MGBs, someone mentioned earlier that a later model
MGB radiator with larger capacity would be a bolt on fit. I accidently
deleted the message {the ol root saying the disk is full,dump what you can. 
opps}. Could someone let me know what year(s) radiator has more capacity and
is a straight swap into a '68?

I have been having problems staying ahead of many Japaneese & German cars
while climbing the Santa Cruz mountains.  They all see to have more power
than the MGB. I have the B floored & they are passing me  {on hwy 17} or
sitting on my tail {old San Jose road}.  Whats a poor girl to do!
I would like to keep the car smog legal, but also get more HP.  I have a spare
set of 1-3/4 carbs from my TR3. Would that help or hinder if I kept the stock
exhaust & cam? Where is the power restriction in this engine?

Sinse the engine is in good condition & I am in the midst of a major TR3
project, I would only be interested in bolt on help at this time. I miss the
power & torque from the TR3.
