Nice find!  How much heavier is it?  Can you get a GL on it and still be within 
capability of your tow vehicle?  How old are the tires?

Re: [MBZ] [Daveslist] Maybe somebody needs this

I see you’re thinking ahead for the MGB.  You‘ll get a better price selling 
them as a set.  You can even park the MGB in the lower cabinet of the tester.

Can you scope coil-over-plug engines with no exposed plug wires?  Do you need 
to with advances in OBD?

Re: [MBZ] [Daveslist] MGB?

Sounds ripe for an M119 swap.

Or hand the keys to your son and you’ll never see him or the car again.

Isn’t balancing a pair of SUs 10 minutes with one of these?
