MG MGA - Engine stumble - resloved!

Sometime ago I posted a question regarding an engine stuble I had on my 61 A. The car started fine but would burble and stumble then backfire upon exceleration above 3000 rmp.

Lots of great advice but nothing worked. We checked for stuck needles and sliders, were the carbs in sync, float levels, contamination in the fuel, bowls, filter, timing, coil, cap, rotor ... yep, changed and checked everything. Still ran very poorly.

I finally pulled the distributor to change the points and condensor. Sure enough, it was a bad condensor. Go figure!

Thanks all for your help.
