Thanks, Art -
' Seems to me I remember this happening to my first MGB - a '78. Unlike
pre-ignition run-on, after the ignition switch was turned off, it just kept
running normally. At that time, 15 years ago, I had little mechanical
understanding of the car but I recall my mechanic saying something about a
diode. Is that the same diode? The current car is a '76 - now without
its diode (which had been spliced into the brown/yellow wire), but it does
not run on.
