A big thank you to all of the folks who responded to me about which plugs to
use. A few suggested Champion, one suggested NGK. My Father suggested
Bosch Platinums, since he had a few .55 cents off coupons lying around for
them. I have also decided not to mount a rear anti-sway bar, as was the
unanimous advice from everybody.
The plugs went in, and the car fired up in a smoky cloud. No backfires or
misses, but she does idle a bit rough. That should disappear with my old
SU's...
The real reason for this message is the surprise that i was in for at Auto
Zone.
No, I am not an employee, but I had a conversation with the manager about
some of the parts he has for MGB's. Most things are in stock or can be
ordered in a day. The best thing is, most of these parts are cheaper than
mail-order! Brake master cylinder for my '74 is about $170 from VB. Auto
Zone has them (rebuilt) for $40! With a lifetime waranty, I don't care if
it's rebuilt. I'm really surprised, I guess it goes to show that there are
parts to be had locally at a fraction of the price...
