Some topics generate a lot of "robust discussion" where sides are taken & lines are drawn!

....here's a few I can think of:

1) Weber vs Twin SU's
2) Original vs Aluminum radiator
3) Pertronix vs points
4) Can you overbore by .080
5) Bad parts/ slow delivery/ bad interactions from suppliers
6) Modification to Brakes (rear discs, etc)
7) Which looks better (GT or Convertible)
8) Why is this MGB part so expensive/overpriced?
9) The proper way to break in a rebuilt engine

did I miss any?

I LET THE SMOKE OUT OF THE WIRES. IS THAT BAD ??????? Is my car positive or negative ground. Do I need to buy a test light, OHM meter or more tools than the CLAW HAMMER I found at the SWAP meet ????? My car wont start. thought I would check here first. Have not tried ANYTHING yet. I just like to punch keys on my keyboard..I put a 600 HP Cleveland in my car and not it will not steer. I do not own a Service Manual for my car. I am using the one from Sears for my Lawn Tractor. (As soon as I see HELP, I thing, OK this will be good) OK< I had Out Patient surgery at the VA yesterday, so I am blaming this on the MEDS> Feel a little SPACY.
