Interesting question. I have an early B, and I chose first to open my
book The Original MGB by Anders Ditlev Clausager rather than open the
bonnet of my car. In the pictures in the book, it is consistent that
the line runs down the block right next to the engine number plate and
to the firewall. At that point there's usually some coiling of the
line, and it goes through the firewall right below the heater fan. This
does seem odd to me. I think mine goes over to the fenderwell, and back
to the firewall - to exactly the same hole in the firewall. It would be
cleaner to go over to the fenderwell. I have now opened the bonnet of
my '67 MGB, and I see that my ether line goes away from the engine, not
quite to the fenderwel, and through the holt physically below the heater
fan motor.
