Bill,
My dads old MG HAD plenty of those old connectors you refer to. I personally love the old British cars, MGA's, Healys, Old Jags, Sunbeams, old Trimuphs, etc, I just don't have the patience to constantly work on them like my father does. I prefer my Big Block Mustangs from 68 and 69, cheap and easy to work on and parts in every parts store in the country. Not that I drive them too much anymore at 4 mpg and $2.50 / gal gas.
Anybody want a '68 GT Fastback, big block Mustang with 19K original????

got pretty off topic here, I think it all started with glow plug voltage.
