So I got my first roadster in 2010. My 2 best friends had a silver 68 and a blue 67 back in the late 80’s. I spent a summer helping rebuild the 67. Well fast forward 2024 and I have 2 and a storage shed full of parts and motors and the like.
Now we have moved home to Tampa and living in a town house and I am finally getting the Red one running.
So recently I had some work done by Glenn’s MG in St Petersburg. He could tell that the timing was 30° retarded just by listening to it. I guess he’s been working on these kind of cars for ever. After an About a month I come out with a completely cleaned and resealed, gas tank, new electric fuel pump, identification of a grounded, horn gremlin, and it’s running like a charm.
Recently noticed some increase in temperature and he had said that sounded like a bearing was going out well it was and the water pump out. After replacement cooling very well.
But noticed a charging gremlin. And luckily found an external voltage regulator from O’Reillys in stock made sure the ground was good and charging is right on the money. Installed a fusible link while working on the alternator And the water pump.
The entire time I drove the car I was getting killed by carbon monoxide because of an exhaust leak. I thought it was a leaking muffler. And over the weekend replace the exhaust system.
I had bought a stainless steel From JT and finally put it in. I had taken an old 1600 exhaust manifold to jet hot in North Carolina And had it ceramic coated and polished. So here are some photos.
