Wasn't the Marina fitted with the same/very similar engine to the MGB?
If so, do either of these look familiar? (Items 9 & 10).

The list is from the US and I'd guess the Marina is an auto - which often
use pre-engage where the manual made do with inertia. Certainly at least
early MGBs were inertia. But of course there were auto 1800 Marinas in the
UK too. Not sure if they ever did an auto MGB.

Sadly your link gives BL part numbers. Wonder if a phone call would get
the Lucas ones from them?

Thanks, Ian, I've already got them in my diary to call Monday morning. I
agree - seems probable that any BMC B Sreies may be the same. I've also
heard that the TR6 and TR7 may have used the same unit, but yet to be
confirmed (Rimmers were completely uninterested).

As far as I can make out, the innards are all the same but the casing varies
according to the car. The E is very tight for space, which is why I have to
use absolutely the correct part. If there was a bit more room I could
probably lash something up.

Geoff - Did you find your solenoid? I have a NOS KOR Lucas #76706 1/1971,
correct for your car if you still need. RGDS....................Mick
