1976 MG MGB Reviews, Pricing & Specs

No start barely any spark on 1976 MGB

Earlier I added this question. “ I replaced the coil distributor cap/rotor. Has new spark plugs and wires. But does not want to start. The other day i checked for spark and i noticed that there was a slight spark happening.” I forgot to mention since it’s a 76 it’s an electronic ignition could the condenser be bad?

1976 MGB has little spark and wont start. what could be the cause?

I replaced the coil distributor cap/rotor. Has new spark plugs and wires. But does not want to start. The other day i checked for spark and i noticed that there was a slight spark happening.

Clutch was very hard to engage

Clutch hard to engage. Pedal gave way at once. Fluid appears to come from a ruptured line some where around the firewall or top of the tranny. Car was in storage for 2 years. Ran good for about 1 day and then the clutch problem occurred.

No spark wants the problem points etc. wires

do mgb's get block freeze out plug leaks often? Not due to freezing coolant or rusting out.

2 different block freeze out plugs developed leaks on a motor that was rebuilt at a shop fairly recently. The freeze out Plugs were new at that time. I replaced the plugs myself with ones ordered from Victoria British using Permatex #1 sealant on their edges & walloped them fairly hard with a big ball piene hammer until they were dented inward slightly. So far no leaks after a few hours of running.
