FWIW
There is a little rubber strap that is used to secure the capillary tube
to the breather pipe. This should prevent shorting of the capillary tube
against the O/D relay,
This may have occurred on occasion to others as well for failing to
replace a little $2 item that really does serve a protective purpose. (A zip
tie
may work as a temporary fix.)
OEM part number is ACH 8979.

I had the same problem on my BJ8 and it got progressively worse.
I found that the capillary tube was shorting against the Overdrive relay
and
basically welding the tube shut.

You should check the temp with an infrared gun (Harbor Freight for 30 or so
ucks). Aim at the thermostat housing. Then if you still feel it is off,
emove the sensor and see if there is crud around it. I cannot think of
nything that would cause the needle to have moved. If you don't want to get
n infrared, I can bring one at the next Healey event we both attend. Let me
now where you are headed and I'll let you know if I'm going.

Subject: [Healeys] Temp Gauge
My temp gauge has lost calibration; it indicates 160deg when it should read
80 (I tried a different thermostat with no change). Otherwise, it seems to
be
orking (but reading 20deg low).
Can the indicator needle be pulled (carefully) off and (re) set to give
orrect temperature?
TIA,
Bob
