I have a co-worker that has a 72 mgb.. i am buying it sight unseen.. i have a question... are the convertable tops on these cars, mechanical or electric?
thanks in advance

Mechanical. You cannot drop it at a stop light like VWs or Fiats. You need to learn how to fold the top properly to avoid damage.
You should look at the car before purchasing. Rust is the biggest problem. MGBs rust from the inside out.
If the sills and rockers are rusty, then its value maybe just a parts car.

Wiring diagrams are available at http://www.advanceautowire.com click on stock schematics.
The white/lightgreen wire connects the starter to the coil on stock ignition systems.
