Always nice to hear about the next generation wanting to pick up the torch. This will be a good experience for him if he chooses to stick with it. He may not be mechanically inclined now but that won't last long. When I got my first LBC, an Austin-Healey, about the only thing I knew about cars was how to drive them. My toolbox consisted of a screwdriver, a crescent wrench, and a hammer.
The MGB turn signal quadrant is the same as used on the J/H but you will have to switch some pins around to make it work, I helped a friend do it and it wasn't a big deal. There are some interchangeable parts on the J/H with other LBCs. I wouldn't recommend the no-name parts to save a buck as they're usually Chinese and of poor quality. Pay up front and do it right and do it once.
I have K&Ns on my J/H but I was surprised to see how very expensive they've become. Another good parts source is Delta Motorsports.
