MG MGA - parts catalog

I am looking for a reprint (or original) parts catalog. By that I mean, the orignal book that shows MGA part numbers that I can look at to figure out exactly what parts I need to build my car (they are missing) and how to tell the difference between the parts for different year MGA cars. For instance, I want to decode the casting number on my crankshaft to see which one it is.

Thanks,

It'a all available online at http://clancy.ch/Owners_Pack.html

If you have a 1622 block, the part numbers are different. Crank is 8G2747, con rods 12H426 and 12H424, but all other parts are the same as a 1600 engine. You definietly need the matching bearing caps for the con rods and main bearings.

Thanks.
I must have the wrong crank then because I think (from memory) the part number stamped on the crank starts with 12H.

I need to go and look at it again.

Thanks for the online link. I am looking at it now.

You need to take some care in interpreting casting numbers and part numbers. In some cases they can be different. The reason is not clear, but it seems that sometimes a casting has one number and then a different part number is used when the item is machined and/or fixed components added before sale.
The Service Parts List can be very useful, but be aware of some variations.
