Of course, there is an alternator conversion for the Lucas (Prince of
Darkness) generator, and while it isn't exactly "stock", it does a lot
for the reliability of the machine.

I don't believe we ever had any trouble with the lucas generator in the
MGA which has been in the family since '63. Either that or my dad never
mentioned it, and I think he would have had it gone bad at some point.

You can also buy a Pertronix electronic ignition module for most of the
old Lucas distributors which replaces the points and condenser.

The wire loom that goes under the
carpet by the copilot's feet is also very interesting when it finally
frays shorted on a lonely road in Kansas between St. Louis and San
Diego {;-)

On the MGA the wiring to the SU fuel pump (which sits behind the
passenger seat) and rear light wiring is held in the same clips that
hold the fuel line to the inner frame rail. Now that was good thinking!
8^P Course these are the same people who saw no need to include a rear
main oil seal on the engine. At least they put a drain hole in the
bottom of the transmission bell housing.
