My `65 had manual brakes and I loved them. I could keep them at the edge of lock-up without ever going over. A little stiff maybe but nothing like a power brake with a failed booster.

If the distributor hasn't been reworked the total timing won't be all in until closer to 4500rpm, or maybe higher. I'd expect it to gain another 10º or so past 2500.

Except for a few details. The dip stick may be on the opposite side and (unless it's from a `67 SS Camaro) it won't have provision for PCV to the block like your `65.

I had a MGA in high school with them. As others have mentioned, harder to keep clean than other wheels. The spokes also required retightening regularly (not difficult though).
