I brought my early '74 MGB home today and got Historic tags at NJ MV h#&l. Joined NAMGBR and have a well-used Haynes manual. I bought it knowing that it needs:
- replacement of clutch slave cylinder
- air to get from heater to defroster (heater works just fine)
- repair or replacement of inop tach, or fix connections to it.
- troubleshooting of inop back-up light.
My first question is this? Is a Lockheed slave cylinder twice as good as the Moss or VB aftermarket cylinder?
I have good records for component changes but nothing for regular maintenance so will start with change of all fluids, lubrication, filters, etc. and start regular maintenance from zero. Anything to check other than the Haynes manual regular maintenance items?
What's the first thing to check for the tach?
This car has a Weber downdraft carb that seems to be running great.
Thanks.
