When assembling brake cilinders or callipers use the special lubricant only. If you use brake fluid this will also remain on the exposed outside parts which can cause future corrosion. I always use A

The Lucas/Girling kits should be OK for the Healey. When rebuilding my cilinders or calipers I prefer to use new or NOS original parts if available, be it a UK, German, Italian, French etc. car. Howe

I would gather that most of you have an electronic ignition of some sort installed by now to preserve the engine and because reproduction points are mostly of a terrible quality. Plugs that use a wid

You are correct that Pertronics (and similar systems) is an electronic set of "points", however the voltage for the spark is higher with the same coil because appearantly the speed of switching is hi

You are right up to a point. When you run a high energy coil or electronic ignition you also have to increase the gap of the plug considerably, thus creating the need for a higher voltage to spark.

Follow the instructions for the Pertronix and/or coil manufacturer or they may have the proper info on their respective websites. I would guess around 1,2-1,5mm will do, perhaps even a bit more. Kee

It is more a question of protecting the engine as you can keep it in tune far better with a Pertronix, Lumenition Optronic etc. than with points. Points these days are of abominable quality and get o
