Fine if you can get a smooth flow if water across all surfaces, but turbulence is the problem more than cavitation. If turbulence develops and you get eddies recirculating past the same bit of surfac

I'd expect the clutch to slip in 4th before lower gears, that is when the greatest torque is applied to it (same power from engine, greater resistance from wheels). Have you checked that there is fre

Original points-type SU? Unless you have gone mad on performance boosts it should be more than adequate, delivering at least 1 Imperial pt per minute, and more reliable than a pointless. BTW, the MGS

What year did the wiring come from? Rubber bumpers had a 6v coil and a ballast resistance in the loom, chrome bumpers had no ballast and a 12v coil. If you use a 6v coil unballasted it, and possibly

Modern ali radiators are usually left shiny. I think they are a matter of greatly reduced cost - as long as they can get one of the required size in - rather than greater efficiency. It is a factor o

A coil for use on ballasted systems is nominally a 6v coil, and *must* be used with a ballast as otherwise it will burn points and could overstress other types of trigger. A 12v coil for use on non-b

There is no adjustment available as such, it is self-adjusting to take up any wear between the slave piston and the flywheel. A low biting point is often due to wear in the linkage at the *pedal* end

Leaving the ignition on without the engine running is more likely to damage the points or the coil (overheating) rather than the condenser. Have you double checked the timing? Is it steady? Firing or
