Dan's 1976 MGB

As noted above, I installed the distributor and the carb this evening. I ended up being able to remove the old distributor and replacing it with the one from the '76 by undoing a 'pinch' clamp that holds the distributor in place. Wasn't too difficult to do, other than forgetting that you have to rotate the rotor until it clicks into place, then you can push it the remaining 1/8 inch to get the clamp to, ummm, clamp.... So now the ignition is all wired up and ready to go, I hope!

Got the carb installed as well, always a fun job as 3 of the 4 nuts that hold it on are difficult to get to, and you can only turn them with an open-ended wrench about 1/16 of a turn at a time. So it's slow going. I hooked up the PVC valve hose, the gas line and the hose that brings in a little coolant to run the water choke. Still have to do the throttle linkage but I have some good pics to follow for that.
