Frequently Asked Questions

Our catalog currently lists 43 ignition parts for the 1962 MG Midget across 8 subcategories and 15 brands, covering both the 1.1L L4 and the 948cc L4. Each part is matched to the engine(s) it fits.
Do ignition parts differ between 1962 MG Midget engines?
Yes. Every ignition part on this page is engine-specific. Each row shows which engine(s) it fits — use the filter at the top to hide the rest. If you're unsure which engine you have, check the emissions label under the hood or the 8th character of your VIN.
What are the signs of ignition problems on a 1962 MG Midget?
Common symptoms include misfires under load, rough idle, flashing check-engine light, or poor starting in damp weather. If you notice any of these, identify the affected subcategory above and cross-reference the part numbers listed.
What spark-plug gap is listed for the 1962 MG Midget?
Notes on this page include pre-set gaps of 0.024", 0.025", 0.030", 0.032", 0.033", 0.035", 0.036", 0.040" and 0.044". Still verify against spec — even “pre-gapped” plugs should be checked before they go in.
What should I replace at the same time?
Where labor overlaps, replace plugs and wires (or coil boots) as a set — one weak cylinder makes the whole set feel bad.
What do the market flags (US, CA, MX) on each part mean?
They show the market for which the manufacturer published application data for that part — where the vehicle was first sold, not where the part was made. If your 1962 MG Midget was originally sold in the US, the safest choice is a part marked for the US market.
How do I make sure a part fits my 1962 MG Midget?
First match the engine — each row shows which engine(s) the part fits. Then gap matters even on “pre-gapped” plugs — verify against spec, and replace coil boots when they come off a high-mileage engine. The notes column carries position and trim qualifiers where they apply.
