I used to know an excellent web resource that had a list of everything recommended before letting your LBC sit for the long winter. That web site is now lost to me, or went out of commission. Does an

.... Worth mentioning to this is the Robertson screwdriver. It's sort of a Canadianism. As best I heard the legend, it's a patented system that apparently the rest of the world wasn't interested in p

Darn tires. My LBC suddenly wanted a better view of the ground the other day and one of my tires went completely flat while parked. I first suspected bratty kids, but the next day it happened again s

Hmmm... There is also another twist to this. Remember that the rubber bumpers are not the same on all models. The truly twisted among us aren't too fond of the giant rubber behemoths on the MGB, but

Longshot, but before I order one... Does anyone have a spare Electronic Ignition module for the Midget 1500 (Triumph engine)? Or any words of wisdom to add about choosing one? I'm looking at the Cran

Actually, this is the "junk" type that is integral to the distributor. I beleive this is the LUCAS "EID" system that was very quickly replaced with the LUCAS "CEI" system, that had the external box.

Is the vacuum system the same on your points distributor however? That is really my problem, not the points. I can deal with points. The problem I have not is that the 1975 engine vacuum is on the in

Too fast idle is a symptom I do have. I blamed it on a number of things I didn't want to deal with and left it alone, but perhaps this is actually the problem. Sounds like it's flashlight time aroun
