Jim, I am the last persom to give wiring advise.However,I have owned MG's an nothing,nothing,nothing is close to an MG'S wiring !! Thank God! They use a positive earth(ground) system,that is archaic at best.

my bro said it easy to rewire, takes time that's all. he works in a hobby shop where they build milliondollar + show cars, he paints and body work, they custom make all the parts, and rewire with painless or gm harness

so i guess my question is, do i just get the universal one

har har har... LORD Lucas lurks...
even with negative earth, LBC wiring is a major PITA. i think those bullet terminals came from the factory with a coating of "quick corrosion" enabler.

at least when you fix a Spider's wiring, it stays fixed.
