1978 MGB running again! I rebuilt the motor and had a few issues getting it started. The guy that put the ignition relay back on the side wall knocked one of the wires loose so I was not getting power to the coil. I hot wired it and it ran well, so then I traced to the loose wire.
Started right up, but the idle was 2500 rpm. More adjustment tomorrow. That was a nice sound!

I must have some corossion on the fuses, fuel gauge, horn, temp, and tach don't work.

WOOHOO! :cheers:

Always a great feeling when they run again. Well done.
 
Got mine running a couple of weeks ago after being on hiatus since last November due to a bad starter. Nice to know that there is life left in our old machines.
