Re: coil wiring question (score: 1): Author: Chip Old <feold@umd5.umd.edu>; Date: Wed, 24 Aug 1994 04:19:26 -0400 (EDT); No. The original coil was labeled "SW" (ignition switch) and "CB" (contact breaker) to indicate which wire went to what (but see last paragraphs below to confuse matters).

On a typical Lucas wiring system, the white/black wire runs from the points to the coil. On your positive ground car, it should connect to the positive (+) terminal.

(score: 1): Author: Chip Old <feold@umd5.umd.edu>; Date: Fri, 26 Aug 1994 23:11:48 -0400 (EDT); Conventional wisdom has it that standard DOT-3 brake fluid rots the rubber parts in BritCar brakes.

After all, in doing so you are asserting your independence. In fact, among this crowd it's considered in bad taste to drive a non-British car on _any_ day! Chip Old 1948 M.G.

They still make wrenches in Whitworth (actuall British Standard) sizes which are (in my opinion) the best available. Chip Old 1948 M.G. TC TC67; /html/british-cars/1994-07/msg00124.html (7,413 bytes)

The TC's XPAG engine does have a pilot bushing, and it's often overlooked during rebuilds because it is often hard to get the old one out.
