I wanted to disconnected the fuel pump wire so I could test a few electrical things under the hood with my test light. Turns out I could not find the pump wire near or on the fuse box. I turned to the Haynes manual to find that later Bs had a inertia switch tied in to the fuel pump and ignition light (not working) but alternator is charging. Anyway where is the inertia switch located?
Also here is a few pictures of some unknown parts to my MG knowledge. One is a power box and a flasher relay lookalike there is one more to the right of the fuse box. the other picture is a shinny resistor mounted right next to the coil it does not look like is connected to the coil.
Thanks,
James

That box is a lumination electronic ignition. That's what came with my car. The inertia switch should be up under the dash by the hood latch. The relay could be your starter or ignition relay.

The inertia "switch" looks like a little white cylinder - almost like a small bottle.

The second picture is a ballast resistor used in conjunction with the original electronic distributor.
