D & D Fabrication makes a hybrid Chev/Rover or /Buick distributor for
the motor.

Dave LaGrou
8055 Tiffany (or maybe 8005)
Almont, MI 48003
(810) 798-2491

Plus they have a load of experience with the motor and are about to
offer a complete V8 to MGB conversion Kit.

I have no affiliation with D & D, normal disclaminers, etc...
Just received lots of good info and found a single source for
everything I need to complete my project.

Later... MGB/Z ='74 MGB w/'63 OLDS 215 V8 T50-5 speed '78 Monza Rear
