Are the Viton needles and seats available through regular parts places like Moss or VB? Their catalogs don't say anything about the construction of the needles other than the Grose Jet ones.

BTW...Anyone who is thinking about putting a MGB pressure plate and clutch disk in a MGA... You may have to remove a bit of material from the bell housing... (As a consequence of not knowing that...I had really nice bicep tone for a couple days )

Nah, a 22 oz hammer does the job very well, you don't have to use a 2 lb other than that, they just leak.

That link was posted on the MG Enthusiasts board a few days ago and I happened to remember it. No special google skills on my part, it's just that I try to monitor about 6 British car bulletin boards every day for tidbits of information.

Ah, my mistake, Don. I thought you were saying you didn't have the ECU to control timing. You're quite right, the MSD 6 won't do that. However, it should be able to run from the ECU output, to give you a computer controlled lightening bolt (if t

Nothin' wrong with 'em a two-pound hammer won't fix... They're unreliable. Prone to vibration malfunction, spring fatigue/failure. BAH! You want to get "Viton" tipped SOLID needles and seats in there.

Looks really nice in the photos and the price sure is attractive. Makes you wonder what challenges lye waiting......

Pull the floats and shake 'em. If they "answer back" with anything sloshin' in 'em you found the problem. Dave knows what to do.

And then there is the pot hole issue...and flat tyres...and no chance to be a good Samaritan. To only be a few points off perfect, you have to be lucky enough to not have the random problems, or to have made a successful bribe, or both.

I agree about the wheels... and the reasonably price... I was considering 15" wheels for my Spit6 but have sicne decided to stay with 13's.

Randall My computer controls the advance and the timing so my dizz don't need it. I don't think the MSD 6 will do that. This is all conjecture at this point until I talk with the last owner and creator.
