Re: Does anyone know what this is for?
That's a flasher relay and why it clicks on one circuit when you move your mystery switch.

Re: Choke Cable Connection
The cable looks to be fitted correctly but the wrong choke cam fitted see attached diagram. The carb looks like the right hand one off a twin setup as the spindle nuts are correct for that set up so who knows what's fitted most important bit is it works.

Re: Air Filter / Air Filter Housing
I fitted an mgb air filter box with a K&N filter inside. This way you lose the angle mount so better air flow the air box has a hole you cant see on the other side and no induction noise from the K&N,

Re: Brake master cylinder
Mine was the same but servo on drums. When I converted to disc brakes found that the banjo bolt on the drums fitted nicely into the mater cylinder. One less place to leak and neater to my eye plus more spanner room.

Re: 12g940 head clearances !
I was in the same position as you. But having fitted a Hif 38 carb and manifold and a proper air filter solution in my mind with a larger bore exhaust system first to make easy space in the garage, found the car went so well the head has sat on the bench for months. But having fitted a 3.9 diff I'm ...

Re: 12g940 head clearances !
Thought about it and I think there will be no problem. I overlayed a 1098 gasket on a 1275 one picture attached.

Re: Tachometer wiring check
Sounds like you have electronic ignition fitted. If you have a smiths tacho gauge fitted and in tiny writing at the bottom printed is RVI then its a compatibility problem. But RVC is a wiring problem.

Re: Tachometer wiring check
What do you mean my module? I haven't come across a tacho module but know that it's a common fault for tachometers to stop working when ignition modules are fitted. years of playing with MGBs.

Re: Cylinder head removal 1098
Having just enlarged the photo of your block I would be looking at more than just the head? No2 piston looks like it's been attacked internally bits of the edge of the piston look to be missing and all the register marks in the crown suggest something had entered the bore.
