To All Grassroots Motorsport magazine had an article recently (April or June?, 2001) on putting an electronic ignition and MSD on an MGB-GT. The electronic ignition was a pertronix unit. According to

Hold on there young fella.... The MSD rev limiter *DOES NOT* do *ANYTHING* in the event of a missed shift. Unless you positioned it to take the shrapnel from the exploding crank... It does "soft lim

Sorry, but I've just gotta jump in here on this one. Last March at Sears Point, while entering turn 10 at 6 grand in 4'th, I sheared the flywheel bolts on my Alpine. You can pull up my website for a

Yeah, but there isn't any need to switch chips once you have the engine broken in. You really just need a 'break-in' chip at lower rpm, and a regular race chip. And it is so much fun to innocently sw

Best to 'can' the ego and put in a chip that is set for about 200 rpm over optimum shift point. It's only vintage racing, guys. If you need an ego boost, just set the redline indicator on your tach f

Yeah - that's true, those damned 970 Coopers won't go much above 10,000 rpm. Even my buddies Ginetta would do better than that with it's Cosworth 1000. I'm sure your Chevies would do much better ....

From this I would say that the MGB, though it had a factory tuneup, wasn't operating to it's best. I'd bet that with the low compression, the burn in the combustion was inadequate and the up-market i
