Hello listers...wow, I think Ive actually got something to contribute.
The winter project is nearing completion (exception being the wheel
cylinder stuff I just sent out). Here's something I found that seems to
help my car run a *whole* lot better.
Advance your timing! Same trick I used on the Integra. It idles well,
and I don't have any knocking. Throttle response is much better too.
All I did was advance it until the car started idling funny, then backed
it off a bit. Nothing scientific. no knocking in tall gears up hill
either, so that's good.
Anyhow, this is a simple trick that has helped me; those new to MGs
(like me) may benefit by doing this.
And BTW, a shout out to Skye for having such a great site on MGBs.
