MG
The Classic Marque

He died in 1989. I didn't know he owned a TD.

Well hopefully it’s ok now.
Supposed to be going to a show tomorrow, only about 20 miles away but still nervous about using the car at the moment so will give it a miss.
Also got a show on Sunday, at Frodsham, about 27 miles away, will do this one. Just hope the car is ok, think it should be.

Have set my plugs to 0.030”

So thank you all for your help and supp...

I believe William Shockley who invented the transistor was a MG enthusiast and owned a TD. Is it still around? I may be mistaken the owner could have been Bratten or Bardeen but if it is still around it has a very good history.

That is a gorgeous car and a real steal.

Unfortunately it is probably a portents of what is coming for the T-Series cars in general.

Thanks for the video, Les, I learnt a lot from it; it makes me realise how much I don't know.

AC Dodd's video is up now:

Well that's a relief Les! It was pointing to the ignition module though. My opinion - with a standard coil I wouldn't go above 30 thou. Maybe you can with a "sports" coil.

Anyway, well done.

I didn't spot the fact that the link was good I posted it twice !

Colin,

Bit of a brain fart there as I appreciated that you didn't have it helmet mounted, it was someone else that was trying to use a helmet mounted camera at a track day and was told he couldn't, against the regs.

More confusion:-
I use NGK BP6ES plugs with a gap of 0.025”. Also have suppressor plug caps, 5k ohm.
Somebody told me that when using electronic ignition and suppressor caps then should set the gap to 0.032-0.035”
Is this correct? Never heard this before.
