@@justinschroder6094 hahaha!! my boys have been calling it that forever and I have no idea why, other than all of the colors on it. I’ve been cutting it out of all the videos until now, when I finally decided to introduce all of y’all to the “circus hammer“, lol!
As an avid MG enthusiast, I enjoyed watching this. Also, really enjoyed seeing you out there with your sons. Made me think of learning about cars with my dad under the hood of his Triumph. Memories are maelde of this! Thanks for sharing.
@@julianyoung7335 thanks! We have a 67 as well, but it is pretty rusty and missing a lot of parts. Would take a heck of a lot to get it going again. We hope to get the 72 driving here real soon and get another video out, hopefully by next Friday! Thanks again!
As for the continuing to run after the key is turned off is a common issue an why they added the gulp valve to flood the intake with air. Some remove the ign light bulb to prevent backfeed power from the fuel pump I believe. Looks like a fun project
Thanks!! I think on this one it might be because the key switch is in pieces and we have to use a screwdriver to turn it on and off and it wasn’t turned fully to the off position. Will be replacing it with a new ignition switch soon.
I'm sure you know this but the temp and fuel gauges are run by a small voltage regulator under the dash. It fails a lot; both of them being pegged low may be an indication it's toast. GREAT JOB getting it running. I expected to see you struggling to get and keep it running with compression so low on 3 pots, but the valves quickly came around.
Thanks! Yeah, I was really surprised also. I still can’t believe it immediately fired up on the first try, and then the valves seated themselves very quickly. We will definitely be checking out the voltage regulator to see if that’s the issue. Right now we’re having all kinds of issues with the clutch and brakes. Thanks!
If that B is a low rust car it is well worth getting it going mechanically and doll her up a bit. Be a nice driver. Maybe could sell it to fund other projects. Good find.
@@robj2704 only real rust is a few areas in the floor pans, and some in the trunk floor. The sills and quarter panels are solid! We are definitely going to get her going as a driver and clean her up. Not sure what our long-term plans are with her but for now we just want to get her on the road and enjoy her! Thanks!
@@DownSouthRustyClassics renew needles if needed. I used an airflow device which I'm sure is no longer available. You and son are doing fabulous work. Absolutely awesome 👌 👏 👍
Step One for Resurrections: Ensure the crankcase has the correct amount of oil. If it is low, add more. It is easier to find the leaks when there is oil available to leak.
@@justinschroder6094 absolutely! That’s why checking the oil is the very first thing we did! It’s a British car, so if it’s not leaking oil, that means there’s none in it! Lol!
@@jesseburkhart7845 sacrilege!!! Lol! Would make it a heck of a lot easier to drop an LS into it though. Of course the floor would have to be channeled as it’s a subframe car, which would add a ton of work to it and make it difficult to fit the seats into it which are already pretty much laying on the floor. Would be an interesting project though! Thanks brother!
@@jesseburkhart7845 i’ve been keeping an eye out for you on that one brother! And as a matter of fact, the woman I got the MG from has an old 70s 300 D that I was kind of interested in. I’ll talk to her about it and see if she wants to sell it and what she would want to get for it. You just want the engine, right? Also, you gonna make it out to the reunion this year??
@@DownSouthRustyClassics Thanks, I just need the engine and transmission. Not sure I”m suppose to be in California the first two weeks of Oct than to Colorado for Elk hunting the two weeks. Right the dates are up in the air.
@@jesseburkhart7845 the reunion is October 16 through the 20th. Check on your Facebook events, I believe you are on there but I will double check. As for the engine, I just realized that it is most likely a 300 D, not 300 SD, and if it is, it won’t be turbo. I’ll double check with her and let you know, though. Hope you can make the reunion this year, brother!
@@sargfowler9603 lol! Yup, but all the new automotive stuff over here is metric as well and has been forever. But we are still clinging to imperial for everything else!! The funny thing is though, even the countries that use metric, still use 1/4”, 1/2”, and 3/4” drive ratchets! Lol! 😂

Thanks! I love being able to make memories with my kids working on these cars! They love it almost as much!
Great video
@@MGB-learning thanks! I just subscribed to your channel!
Nice to see its running.
Thanks!
I have a 67 roadster here in New Zealand. It is awesome to drive around. Good watching you guys getting yours going. Look forward to next video

Memories ❤❤ su twin cards & balancing em wasn't easy. 😊
@@IndianLondoner that’s definitely on the list of things to do, I believe the back carb is not flowing nearly as well as the front currently.

@@DownSouthRustyClassics I joked with someone recently that British cars were purposely made to "sweat" oil for rust-proofing.
@@justinschroder6094 yes!! it keeps the undercarriage well oiled and lubricated! As long as it’s still driving, it won’t rust! Lol
Nice work, You guys should look into put on a S-10 frame.

Haha, these were built with imperial stuff! Perfect for you as we've all gone metric in the UK!

@@DownSouthRustyClassics So true. People say we've gone metric, but still have 1/4" drives and sheets of wood that are 1220mm x 2440mm (4' x 8') 😃
