Went cruising /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif in my 79 MGB today which I purchased last week from a member of another forum. Wow, it is one tight MGB! The hubby finished the wiring woes, with a bunch of help from Tony, about 10 AM this morning and I talked him into riding along with me. Cruised around 150 miles round trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway and had a blast. Beautiful day for cruising here in the mountains.
Now for the question. This MGB does not turn as many RPMs as the my 64 or 80 MGBs in any gear. The hubby says the gearing in the 79 is probably higher since it does not have factory overdive like those two do. Is the hubby right?

Owner of a 64 MGB, and an 80 MGB each repaired 4000 times and still loved. Now a 79 MGB, repaired just once, and instant love /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
