Even without the cam, with that size of engine and triple SUs it'll be a thristy beggar. My Dolly Sprint was thirsty as heck, without the extra 1000 cc of the MGC.
Won't you need to change the dizzy or was the vacuum advance just missing?
Best of luck with it all.:):):)
 
Me chuck casserole on satdi was the best so far. Carrots, broccoli, sprouts, cauliflower, 2 unyuns and chuck. All in me slow cookerer. Cooked till all soft. Takes about 3 hours. Me gravy was done int microwave using the water from the slow cookerer. Din't put much corn flower in so it were still runny. Put it all in a bowl and tipped the gravy over the top. Gravy flooded the bottom so eye ate from that bit. So all me veg was covered in gravy. Best one eye has made and tasted so far. Eye has just put another one in fer today but not got any unyuns. Eye has found finely chopped unyun int the best. Biggerer bits is betterer.
 
Happy bank hol folks!:):):)

It was given to a Triumph specialist (Friend of the owner) to be done properly
He was instructed by me to fit an adjustable electronic dizzy but it came back with a Triumph TR6 Electronic dizzy set at 40 odd deg of advance max, MGC will only take 35 tops before detonation ffs
I've set the best I can out of six selections but it'll never be right.
It has vac unit on but for some reason the pipe is blocked off so you can't connect vac tube
We are trying to keep it as original as poss regarding the fan, so I'll try and fix the old one
It's to be sold so just getting it running as smooth as I can and give it a polish

If I had the time and it was mine I'd alter a mechanical dizzy with or without points to get the best out of it but too much to do
