[DeTomaso] NPC .. MG Migit

[Larry - Ohio Time]

Very cool Jack...What a job to have.even today!

 

My first sports car (3 car) was a 64 MGB. Yes positive "earth". All it
needed was a clutch adjustment. Little did I know at the time there is no
adjustment and you needed to drop the transmission to replace the carbon
throw out bearing. I learned a lot!

 

Still have my 71 MGB from High School. Of course, wires, Webers, OD/trans,
aluminum bonnet, AND its BRG!

You might appreciate that I drove my MGB "off the boat" in 1965 - my first
car. Got a job at BMC in San Francisco delivering new cars from ship to
showroom since I used to go down to Fisherman's Wharf from Sacramento a lot.
When I saw how the kids drove the brand new cars over all the RR tracks with
wire wheels it killed me to think that some un-suspecting people were buying
cars that were "abused" within the first mile "of life". So, I got a job
delivering cars for BMC also - until MINE showed up. I drove it back to
Sacto. with the "white shit" still covering it - they used to put a paste on
them to protect from salt water. Still have it - a gem. With rotary power
now. Quite a bitchin' little machine. The only hang-up that I had in all the
restorations was the positive ground. No big deal, but cooked a few wires
along the way forgetting that little fact. Still has the original BRG paint.
FWIW

Tom,

 

Have only had MGB's (10 or so) but they are the same animal.

 

Ask away.

Before I go and do a lot of research I thought I pose the question to the
group in hopes of getting a quick answer.   My brother has a 1974 MG Migit
with a 1275 cc engine that he has had disassembled for over 10 years.   He
is now starting to put it back together but can't remember how to hook up
the wires to the starter.  

Any british wiring experts out there?
