Q & A: Engine Options

John,

I have a 1979 MGB that has been raped over the years and is in poor condition. I want to put a new carb, exhaust, and distributor in it. Right now there is no air pump, converter, or heater. It has a 25d distributor and the original carb. The car runs ok but it does not have any pickup or power from a stand still. The compression on the engine is good,so I am thinking about getting a weber DGV carb, big bore stainless steel exhaust, and a mallory dual point distributor. What do you think of this and what would you recommend with the options that are available(weber DCOE, header, lucas distributor, etc).

Thanks for your time,

Michael T. McLaughlin
