Thanks mech! Electronic ignition is in the plans although I don't intend to switch to injection.
I experimented with water injection on my biodiesel bike (you have to be careful with hydrolock on a diesel you can blow the head) and might play with it a bit on the MG... I abandoned it on the bike because the extra equipment I needed (tank, injector, a whole extra carb to control the flow) ended up weighing more that it was worth, but on a car the weight is insignificant. Room is a problem with an MG though.
Mech, can you elaborate more on the reasons NOT to add a cat? Understanding that the original engine is dirtier than modern ones, I can still add positive crankcase ventilation to the engine as well as electronic ignition, and adding a cat (from my understanding) would under any circumstances burn the fuel better and the worst aspect would be heat dissipation....
