Ah, Lucas. The Prince of Darkness. 

Yep, I owned a 1975 MGB many years ago. Loved that beast. The original wiring had exactly four fuses for the entire wiring harness. Engine Bay, Front Lights, Rear Lights and Cabin. All glass buss fuses, of course! Thankfully, I had a mechanic who really, really knew these beasts and he was able to upgrade the fusebox to at 16-slot blade fuse one.
