Steve, no need to remove the gauge. Just stick a thermometer in the radiator before it gets that hot or leave the cap off as it warms... the blanking sleeve and a "calibrated hole restrictor" in plac

The way to eliminate the fuel question is to plumb in a fuel pressure gauge, hang it where its visible and go for a drive and depending on what you see move on to the electrical questions. Since we h

So, refresh my memory (it gets worse with age) does the gauge never (under driving circumstances) go above 212, like it's stuck or it does go above like idling in traffic, but never dumps boiling coo

Now I almost can unequivocally say that the gauge is faulty or at the very least sticks. I doubt that any Healey owner on this list hasn't shut the engine off at or near the 212 mark and not seen it

I agree with Kees. Bearings are an easy 1 day deal and relatively inexpensive. A "humming" is more likely a wheel bearing or differential bearing than a gearbox noise. Use a stethoscope or long screw
