As for the continuing to run after the key is turned off is a common issue an why they added the gulp valve to flood the intake with air. Some remove the ign light bulb to prevent backfeed power from the fuel pump I believe. Looks like a fun project

I have one of those vacuum bleeders, made in China, says it all really! I have found to fully evacuate all the air, the best way is to unbolt the clutch slave cylinder and then position the bleed nipple uppermost, all the remaining air can be more readily expelled, taking care not to push the piston out! A cable tie can hold it all in, or let the piston move and then push it back in with your fingers - gives it an extra boost. Greetings from the UK!

Great project for you and your boys! My first car was a 1969 MGB, so I know them well. Rust was the biggest problem. Outer and inner sills, and floor pan were rotten on mine and needed replacing. You might find the castle sections under the front wings also rot, and the fuel tank was also a problem. Mine also needed new kingpins in the front suspension, which I'm guessing are hard to find nowadays, and the steering rack mountings cracked. Mechanically, the old British Leyland B Series engine is pretty bomb-proof though. I've also got a friend who's owned a 1972 MGB for 35 years now, and spares no expense on it. However, his fuel pump cracked in the South of France, which is a story in itself. Lovely little car though. Good luck with the project! 🙂
@DownSouthRustyClassics 4 ай бұрын
Thanks! This one surprisingly has very little rust for sitting in the woods for 48 years compared to some of the other ones I’ve had. Going to need some spots of the floor pans patched, but the sills and quarter panels are surprisingly rust free! We will be working on those floor pans next as I’ll need to fix them before bolting the seats in. Definitely a great little car and fun to drive, can’t wait to get it on the road!

I'm sure you know this but the temp and fuel gauges are run by a small voltage regulator under the dash. It fails a lot; both of them being pegged low may be an indication it's toast.
