I'm surprised that no one yet has mentioned Lucas, the Prince of Darkness. dealing with rust is a piece of cake compared to Lucas electrics.
I think the MGA used SU carbs, but if fitted with twin Strombergs, beware the cup and ball throttle linkage assembly. If I downshifted my '63 Sunbeam Alpine while going uphill the balls would jump out of the sockets, leaving the motor at idle speed. Not a lot of fun when it happened in the left lane of the NY Thruway, or going over the Brooklyn Bridge.
