Also, Greg, don't forget to ask us here! Lots of MG enthusiasts have digital cameras, and are happy to go shoot photos of their cars if you need a picture to see what sonmething is supposed to look like.
I'm not claiming the stuff on my 66 is all "as it should be," especially under the hood, but I'd be happy to send you pictures of any detail you'd like a look at. There's nothing like a photo to really explain where stuff goes. (It can be almost impossible to describe wiring, etc. sometimes.)
Also, absolutely get the Moss and VB catalogues. They are very useful to help identify parts in your car . . . and, of course, will constantly entice you with "ooh, I should get a new one of those!"
