Richard B Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Yes MG is MkII PIME is MkII 2000.PI cues are, black vinyl on rear pillers (Saloon) with PI badges, black front grill with 2500 Injection badge (not bare aluminium grill) black gauge surrounds, Black plastic trin on rear light panel surrounding number plate, 2500 centre badge on steering wheel, clock on dash in middle by air vent, separate fuel, temp, voltage gauges, commission number should also start MG.This is for pre face-lift PI's (1970-1974)Should be an inertia switch in the engine bay (gray plastic tube on bulkhead), also air resevoir for brake servo (big black cannister by radiator), two pipes from boot to engine bay (supply and return).Even if carbs are fitted, then if its a real PI there should be evidence of the above.

TedTaylor Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 By comparison with other engine numbers on my database this would be a PI around about September 1971.MUT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iggy Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Thanks TED is there any difference between a 1971 pi engine and the later ones, ie the camshaft and cylinder heads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Differences come with the facelift models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny-Jimbo Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 If you need it I have a Mk2 PI front grille in pretty good nick - the black type. Has the PI badge on too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard B Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I prefer the cast aluminium grill for the heater intake, the pressed one always looks cheap and nasty to me.Cost engineers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Jones Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 You have the earlier Mk2 PI engine with the 308778 cam and larger exhaust valves. Rated at 132 bhp. Later ones (from MG750000 IIRC) had the 125 bhp cam and smaller exhaust valves being very similar in spec to the later detuned CR series TR6. Think that happened some time in 1973.You've got the right one IMO.Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
