Hello all, My wife and I recently (last Saturday) took possesion of a '74 MGB. I'm a recent retiree and it's my "next" project. Overall, it's in fairly good shape with some minor rust. The previous owner had the car for ten years and I swear he knew nothing about it.
My biggest concern right now is the fuse block. At one time there was no turn signals, tach, gas guage, brake lights, heater fan. While driving around the neighborhood, they all would go on and off. I determined it was the fuse block and the "green" connections. While pulling off the leads, one broke off. I want to buy a new one, but can these be moved around for the time being?
My other question is concerning fuel. The previous owner said his mechanic told him it was ok to use unleaded. I don't mind adding the lead, but is there a certain octane I should be using?
Thanks for any and all your help in making our driving experience agood one.
thanks,
Bob
