Yes, there were 2,591 factory GT V-8s produced, all indications are that there were 7 cars built and completed to LHD US Federal standards. Some of these were sent to the US for evaluation, but when

Dick, I was curious who the folks were who are selling the V-8s here in the States (for 30K and 40K). Dan Suter in New York is keeping a registry of factory GT V-8s in North America. This would be go

Here it goes again. First I have problems with part of the digest being cut off, now I receive Thursday's copy (#399). The first 6 entries are fine, everything after that is unintelligible gibberish.

Bill, it sounds like you have the wrong oil filler cap on the engine. 1967 Bs with the closed circuit breathing valve (PCV) use a vented oil filler cap with a metal mesh filter built into it. Your ca

James, I was surprised to hear that you found a corncob in your 1976 B. I thought that these were only available on the new MGF WC that Paul Hunt talked about. Maybe your B was the Rural model. Paul

After putting Red Line MTL 75W-80 into my '79 Toyota truck gearbox, I was amazed at how well the thing shifted. Has anyone had experience using MTL or the slightly heavier MT-90 in MOWOG trannies, sp

Someone on Monday's digest was considering the possibility of using a Cooper type engine cooling fan on a Sprite. In a word, DON'T TRY IT. The Cooper (mini, Austin America, MG 1100) type fans are des

The brake light switch on a 1966 MGB is operated by brake line pressure and is non-adjustable. It is possible to fit the later brake pedal linkage cover (the black housing just in front of your maste

We're not sure what causes the switches to fail using DOT 5, but my hypothesis is that the silicone fluid has a high dielectric and acts like an insulator on the switch internal contacts. If someone

If you believe that modern DOT 3 fluid does not harm British brake seals, try an experiment like I did about 10 years ago. (I don't think they've changed DOT 3 fluid in 10 years). Buy a Lockheed clut
