Doug,

I would recommend going to the Sacramento Valley MG Car Club’s home page: www.svmgcc.org

They like most MG clubs with a web site list a number of the upcoming events in the area.
They also have a listing of the time and location of their next meeting. You might want to look them up. I am sure that they will make a newcomer feel welcome.

If you want to drive down to the desert, Buttonwillow is coming up at the end of April.

The Dixon meet's coming up in May ,I believe (May 21?).
Look up the (I think)United British Sports car club in Sacramento,they pt it on.
I keep hoping to make it,but something comes up each year.I'll be on the East coast this time.

Doug, is this one I should go to?? I think I can make it with the GT. It is running pretty good right now. I have cousins in Davis to see too

I was thumbing through the event list on another site and I came across the Dixon show/ swapmeet. Since it is far enough away, in time, i am going to try and drag out my the TD i just purchased and see if i can get it running. (my GT is just a little to rough to go to a car show. Not that the TD is much better)

Now if some one will sell me a bench seat set up for it I would be most appreciative... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yesnod.gif

Bruce,

If the weather's good (not raining),I've heard that it's a really good show.
Talk to Joel,Don,or anyone else in your local club who's been there.We even have a "local" who usually takes
his early Spitfire.

Dixon is always a good event. And, the lamb chops ain't bad, either!

Hmmm, maybe I will try to get to that show in May. I am planning on getting the 3.07 rear end under the V8 before then and picking up the factory hardtop I have in UT. Hmmmmm........

 

[647F]

Looks like there are a few people who really like the show. Btw where did you get the 3.08 ring and pinion? thanks -

 

[Jake]

The 3.07 is from a '68 MGC, its the entire rear end. Ebay treasure. The rear end is physically bigger than the MGB unit, larger diameter ring gear.

 

[647F]

so, i can not swap a 3.08 into my B with out getting an entire C rearend...

 

[Jake]

I believe it can be done, its probably easier to get a C rear end complete. I have heard of 3.07 setups with ring and pinion into a B diffy case that are noisy because of improper backlash. Plus I thtink the inside has to be machined out to accept the larger ring gear. The ratio is actually 43/14.
