that’s it. I’m ready. I am anxious to drive the all new and improved MGB. I did some work with the Arduino project computers and got one for the B. I want to start by hooking up temp sensors in various places. I’m interested in tracking the input and output temps of the radiator. . . . → Read More: OK, Like I’m ready for a few rainy days to wash the salt away.

Finally found a minute to do an update. We had great weather here (ie: no snow) until into Decemeber so I grabbed a couple good driving days. I put just over 200 miles on the car before taking off the road for the winter. Overall it ran very well. The Edelbrock 500 works well, . . . → Read More: Done for now, put away till spring.

Because of the lack of room around the tranny the clutch fork had to be cut down. That made the fulcrum point change and I . . . → Read More: New (to me) Clutch Setup is in – need 2 truckers

Ordered a new master cylinder – tried a rebuild kit in the old one but it leaked a bit. I was put a notice out on the email list looking for an MGC hood – the one with the bump in it. That way I could get rid of the hood with the . . . → Read More: Update on the MGB Update
