Patton -

That's easy -

Better air and fuel filters on the carbs and better oil filters on the
spin-on adaptor.  These three changes will make a HUGE difference in
the long term running of any healey motor.  My BJ8 motor has close to
80K miles on it since rebuild and it still does not burn a single bit
of oil.

I wouldn't put a cooper filter on my healey if my life depended on it.

Best Regards,

Alan
