The car number plate was missing when I bought this MG and the DMV assigned a replacement tag which they installed on the door pillar.

Using the supplied air filter plate, a plenum was fabricate...

Posted on: Thursday December 27, 2007

I got tired of waiting for Moss Motors to develop a supercharger package for the MK1 3-main MGB so I explored the options. Moss says they have'nt produced a supercharger for for the 3-main engine because it has a unique water pump which would be too expensive to adapt to a serpentine pulley for such a limited production. However it is possible to install the (150-058) SC for the '65-'67 mgb with the suppled pump (and the provided serpentine pulley) with some modifications. The down side is tha...
