In any case, the fact that we go for originality instead of elegance (no long gowns as you would see at Concorso Italiano), is the reason why we call the effort the "Austin-Healey Concours Registry" and don't mention elegance or etat. (I thought when we started, that sounded too much like "coup d'etat" and we'd never want one of those, would we?)

I don't think I would stop to pass the time of day with it, so I wouldn't know whether it's in a good mood or not. If however I were to run into Steve Pike at the Sydney Opera House or any other place in Sydney I would suggest a pleasant lunch overlooking the harbour, perhaps with a nice Chardonnay or two. After that Steve would probably come back to my home for the night where we would discuss all sorts of different things over more than a bottle of red. There are 47 different varieties of kangaroo and some are cute and cuddly and others are pleasant to look at from a distance. Cute and cuddly or not I don't think I would like any kangaroo or wallaby staying in my home. There are probably more than 12 million kangaroos here and the meat is virtually fat free and has a distinct gamey taste to it. Actually saw two kangaroos this morning.

"I beg your pardon?" asked Arthur. Ford was holding up a small glass jar which quite clearly had a small yellow fish wriggling around in it...He gasped in terror at what sounded like a man trying to gargle while fighting off a pack of wolves. The Babel fish is small, yellow and leechlike, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy received not from its own carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the conscious thought frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the speech centres of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. The speech patterns you actually hear decode the brainwave matrix which has been fed into your mind by your Babel fish. The above is from my favourite book called: "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Universe". A wonderful book that is full of very sideways view of looking at the world. The earth is about to be destroyed to make way for a new hyperspace highway. What wasn't known was that zillions of years beforehand someone asked the ultimate question, the answer to which was "42". The question had long been forgotten so a new super computer was built called - EARTH. It's a fantastic book and I would recommend it to anyone who sees life in a slightly slanted way. Subsequent books in the Hitchhikers trilogy are "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe", "Life, the Universe and Everything" and "So Long and Thanks for all the Fish". Yes I know that's 4, but that's part of it. In these books we find out the true rulers of the earth - white mice and dolphins.

But if memory serves, the answer to "What is the meaning of life, the universe and everything?" was what the world-computer was built to seek. The answer, as divulged much later in the story, is in fact, "42" which does make a peculiar sort of sense if you convert it into binary. So long, and thanks for all the fish.

He is in the later stages of prostate cancer, unable to live at home and unlikely to ever return home. He has no computer access in the hospitals and care facilities that he must stay in so he asked me to spread the word that his beautiful tricarb is available. It has won Best of Show at several Austin Healey Association meets and meets in San Diego. Kirk can be reached at 951-205-3035. As a secondary number his home phone is 909-886-5317. I am guessing that he can pick up messages from the answering machine there. Please pass the word to anyone who might be interested. Kirk's home is in San Bernardino California, and the car would be there, too.

In 4th gear only, there is a very small amount of side movement in the lever. This is enough to switch the o/drive into direct when moving, not a very nice scenario. As a fix I have bypassed the switch which is ok when I am driving the car but could could cause some anxious moments should some unknowing person drive. I have replaced the switch with no results.

I see that the seller lists it as having a C-type chassis as used in the Silverstone. For the sake of being a pedant the Silverstone used the Healey "D" or "E" type chassis. These were shorter than the C-type as the Silverstone did not have the rear overhang. The car in question has chassis number C1881 and started life as a Healey Tickford saloon. No doubt way back when it was far cheaper to have the current body fitted than to go through the very expensive restoration of a alloy over timber coachbuilt body. Going for 5,000 Quid is not a bad price, but I wonder what the reserve is. It would be a lot of fun to drive and far quicker than a standard AH100.

Brakes work better than they have in years. Installation was very easy; a few new brackets and had to bend the new inlet and outlet brake lines, which was pretty easy as the lines were supplied already cut to length, flared, with the fittings on both ends; just had to bend them. The unit is the VH40. Works well and about $200 cheaper than the Lockheed replacement.

According to the article there are 354 possible .090 needles that might be correct (or close enough) for the BJ8 HD8 carbs. Who carries this kind of inventory? First, you must make a correct determination of what needles you have in your carbs and hook up and read the O2 meter readings and use the DOS program to figure out what to change to. Order new needles, then due it all over again until you get closer. Then don't change your exhaust system, air filters, etc, etc. Dan -----Original Message----- From: healeys-bounces+dan=warner-associates.com@autox.team.net [mailto:healeys-bounces+dan=warner-associates.com@autox.team.net] On Behalf Of Jerry Costanzo Sent: Monday, October 06, 2008 4:54 PM To: healeys@Autox.Team.Net Subject: Re: [Healeys] Carburator needle changes Ken Freeze put his car on a dyno and tested.

The problem isn't your carb needles. I suspect either: 1) Your throttle valve plates are not seated properly. They should be fully closed at idle and if not seated properly in the throttle body then you will have air leakage and too fast of an idle. Take the carbs off and check that they seat fully in the throttle body 2) The slow idle screw (the big screw) o ring is worn out and air is leaking past the o ring causing fast idle 3) You have a vacuum leak somewhere Once you have all this sorted, you should be able to adjust idle properly. Than and only then should you start thinking about needles.

The old MG assembly buildings are still standing on Lickey Road although they had vacated them earlier in the spring - I do not know their ultimate fate is, but it worth going to kneel and shed a tear. There is a single brick wall remaining from the old Velocette factory over at Hall Green, but unless you are a Velo nutter, it is not very exciting. Not much of a list, but I was there visiting family. Have a great trip!

It passed OK. But.. I always ask the mechanic/tester to raise my cars back up on the lift so that I can have a good look underneath...to see any problems, check for leaks (as if!) etcetc. Well, there was a bit of oil here and there and the chassis was, as a consequence, pleasingly protected. We tightened up the sump nuts, none of which were really tight enough. AND we noticed a slight drip of coolant from the back of the engine. It dripped off where the gear box mates(?) to/with the engine on the manifolds side. We looked at all the expansion plugs on the side and the rear one; also the drain tap under the manifolds; also along the head gasket (even though the water in the rad was clean etcetc) Nothing to see, yet the water kept coming, albeit at a very slow rate. I took the car home and put it away whilst I pondered. In the end I decided that the water was just being awkward..that it actually came from the ignition side of the engine and was appearing on the other side just to fool me and to lure me into fruitless inlet and outlet manifolds removal. Spite..a possible carry over from the atmosphere prevalent in BMC in the '60s? It was coming from the heater tap..the jubilee clip on the hose. I haven't tested it yet, but that's where the blue stain seemed to originate. The moral or point of all this b*****ks?..nothing is what it seems and things aren't always as bad as you think, nor as hard to fix. (They are usually worse mind you, but not always).

The best (read: most expensive) measure EGT in all cylinders. An EGT is a thermocouple and indicator that, well, measures the exhaust temperature, from which you can surmise the relative strength of the mixture. EGT rises as you lean from full rich to "peak EGT," which roughly corresponds to stoichiometric. Aircraft are typically operated at either 50-100degC "rich of peak" or 50degC "lean of peak." The latter setting has become more acceptable--it was anathema until relatively recently--as the cost of avgas has gone north of $6/gallon (generally, it should only be used at power settings less than 75% of max continuous power available in the engine).

I used the Innovate LM-1 to find out whether the problem of overheating of my 100 had its cause in any driving situations. Nice thing is the possibility to attach a laptop while driving or to export collected data later to a computer and to check the quality. With different sensors you even can check data in correspondence to exhaust temperature or revs. Unfortunately I could not finish these measurements as some noise coming from the engine let me turn off the engine fearing that the noise comes from the cam bearings, but this is going to be another story.

My pal Bob Grinder has one, too, and he uses it on his MG-TD. We've compared readings between his instrument and mine and they're quite repeatable. The Heathkit CI-1080 uses two thermistor beads in what's called a bridge circuit. One thermistor bead is the reference, and it's at ambient temperature. The other measures EGT (exhaust gas temperature). If the two are the same temp the bridge is balanced at zero. When you insert the probe in the exhaust stream, the bridge gets unbalanced and the zero-center meter indicates CO and air/fuel ratio. I like using it on my BT7's dual exhaust, to ensure a match between the two pipes/carbs.

I expect that you are already aware that the holes in the rear bearing have to be aligned correctly if oil is to get to the rockers. However what is less obvious is that one of the holes in the liner should not fully align with the hole in the casting. I realise that this is not your problem because this is a modification intended to reduce the oil flow to the rockers because in the original arrangement too much oil was getting up to the top of the engine.

But I would remove the rocker assy first and crank the engine over and see if oil comes out of the oil fitting in the head. Then remove the head and crank it over again and see if oil is being supplied to the head, if not then the cam bearing is installed wrong. There also is a possibility that the plug in the oil gallery inside next to the oil pump is missing. If pull the pan and look up next to the oil pump there is a oil gallery that should have small bolt with a copper washer sealing a hole.

It was put together as an exercise to see if there was any demand for a coupe. The only other 100 coupe was DMH's personal 100 coupe with the 100S motor. There were also two 3000 coupes made. All of these coupes still exist as far as I am aware, they are highly sought after and most are quite attractive, really. This particular coupe is arguably the least attractive of the 4, but still nice. I was designed with the fast back lift gate - obviously a derivative of the DB 2/4 liftgate which gentleman bird & fox hunters preferred. You later saw this liftgate put on the E-type much later. Clearly since only a handful of DB 2/4s were made, it was probably determined the demand for this type of body was very limited. I think DMHs 100 is more of a standard 100 w/ integral hard top and slightly modified boot lid.

They were registered ONX 113 and OAC 1 and both cars fitted with Jensen built coupe hardtops and disc brakes all round. ONX 113 was DMH's personal car for some time and was in the Arthur Carter collection. In understand that it's been sold. OAC 1 was de-couped in 1974 and the roof panels found their way to Australia where it was intended to fit them to another 100 that had been modified to be very similar to my car. Thankfully this never went ahead and through a little wheeling and dealing the panels were bought by the owner of OAC 1 to be reunited with the car. OAC 1 then became a six-cylinder experimental and I have always seen it as a sister car to the BN3/1 although it doesn't not carry any badging to that effect. Now the car in the photos is absolutely fascinating and while the above is fact the next bit is purely conjecture on my part. I cannot comment on the PAC 915 English registration. Perhaps someone who understands such things can? I see that it is fully trimmed inside and yes I covet it greatly. The eBay ad says that it is from the Autocar in 1960 - years after both ONX 113 and OAC 1 were built. I see that it is fitted with the early 100 brake drums. Plus look closely to the windscreen mounting and that it is still fitted with the screen lowering mounts. The screen looks as if it's a 100/6 screen that has been modified to fit. Both ONX 113 and OAC 1 are true coupes with the coupe panel actually one piece with the windscreen surround. Alan mentioned the Aston Martin DB2/4 and there is a clear similarity between the rear treatments between the AM and the car in the photo. The turret is higher and extends back further than ONX 113 and OAC 1 plus the rear screen is much larger, not unlike a DB2/4 coupe. I can't think of any significance, but I note that the front parking lights are missing as are the windscreen wipers. This may be out of left field, but I wonder about the architecture behind the car and the cobbled road surface. Is it a London mews or somewhere in southern Europe? My guess is that it's a 100 that in the late 1950s has been fitted with coupe panel work. Perhaps even by Tickford as it has that look about it.

Hi again, Just two questions about how things SHOULD be on my friends 1954 100-4. First, the rocker cover securing bolts (hollow bolt things, as original). Shouldn't the securing bolts only tighten down to a point and then stop so as to avoid deforming the rocker cover downward toward the head? When we tightened the bolts on my friends car, we noticed later that the rocker cover is bent down at both bolts. We both are assuming that the bolts should snug up without bending the rocker cover! We are not over tightening them. Second question refers to the front shroud body area directly below the grille. We found A LOT of Bondo here, which was odd as there is almost no damage here at all. Anyway, from the bottom of the grill opening, moving downward, what should the shroud look like here? What I mean here is, should the panel be totally vertical, perpendicular to the ground, or should it slope slightly forward as you move downward from the grill opening? That's all for now. :) Thanks Paul B. _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Healeys@autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys http://www.team.net/archive From healeys-bounces+mharc=autox.team.net@autox.team.net Wed Oct 8 22:31:21 2008 From: Ray Juncal To: List Healey Date: Wed, 8 Oct 2008 21:28:12 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [Healeys] Frog and pizza show While attending a meeting of the Citroen car club of So.

Paul - The 100 valve cover fixing bolts are supposed to have cup washers and rubber washer grommets underneath to seal to cover's fixing holes. The rubber grommet is there so you don't need to overtighten - just tight enough to keep the oil from leaking out. These nuts never come loose.

There's something about thumbing through old parts catalogs that I really enjoy. I think it's the incredible quality of the diagrams. At any rate, I noted on the second to last page (8.1 just after figure R.59) it listed a "Tool Kit" consisting of a screwdriver, valve tool, hammer, grease gun, jack and other nifty items. did these come with the cars when they were delivered to the owner, or were they optional items? I know that my car has none of these things (it was a basket case) and i wanted to know if i'll need to add them to my "to be found list" to ensure my restoration is complete. Thanks!

The problem is you don't have the petrol drain pipe installed on your car, thus the gas is leaking onto your exhaust manifold. You can see the pipe you are missing as #32 on the moss motors website: http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=28856 Best, Alan '52 A90 '53 BN1 '64 BJ8 On Sun, Oct 12, 2008 at 8:02 PM, Richard Antal wrote: > Greetings Healeyphiles, > After a brief drive yesterday in my BJ8, I noticed a > strong smell of fuel eminating from under the hood. > There was gasoline dripping out of the manifold and > vaporizing when landing on the exhaust pipe.

I don't just keep the UK 100 Register but one that is close to being called a Worldwide Register. However I will not claim this for reason below. For well over 20 years we have collected car and owner information from all over the world. We have received over these years many very useful inputs from numerous countries where 100s reside. Our WEB site also attracts entries on a Worldwide basis. I have been striving for a worldwide register for some time but there had, for about 10 years, been a weakness in North America. I partially filled this gap by receiving and publishing information from the AHCA and many other North American inputs but without a known and active contact this was to say the least second best. Very fortunately about a year ago Rich Chrysler stepped into the gap and recovered as many old and existing North American registers as he could with the help of other supporters. Rich and I now share our North American Registers and when I get the time the additional entries that Rich has provided will be added to our WEB site. Meantime I can answer queries from all databases. Therefore I believe that between us it would not be unreasonable to claim that we now have a 100 Worldwide Register. We certainly have the largest with the longest history. Now to the specific query body number 390 almost certainly batch number 4360 9578 is highly likely to be 5400 Please see below an extract from our database showing the information of cars close to yours. As with everything one cannot be 100% certain of what has been deducted but as I have not seen body numbers outside the range of a specific batch of numbers I believe that you can be fairly confident that these numbers are correct. Now that you have these numbers perhaps you could look again at what you have and see if these numbers fit what little you can see on the originals and let us know. Chassis Batch Body 145435 4360 385 149659 390 145427 4360 407 227058 5400 9561 227133 9567 227026 9578 227128 9601 227102 5400 9608 Regards > >I am looking to see if anyone can identify the accounting (batch) number for >my 2 AH100 BN1's. > -- John Harper _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Healeys@autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys http://www.team.net/archive From healeys-bounces@autox.team.net Sun Oct 12 07:37:51 2008 From: "James Sailer" To: "Healey List" Date: Sun, 12 Oct 2008 07:37:20 -0600 Subject: [Healeys] The last drives of the year Greetings all ..

If the rate of production was in any way consistent (and if they built the cars in sequence) 390 should have come off the line 7 or 8 weeks before mine.

I see you've had a lot of discussion on the list trying to sort your batch and body numbers. It has been suggested to me by Hundred Registry contributor Steve Mickelson that your Body number could well be 890, and not 390. This could easily have been misread due to a poor stamping of the 8. I think this may be the case. This would land your car right into the correct sequence of date built, chassis number, batch and body number. Therefore your batch number would surely be 4467. I would suggest you check your number plate carefuly to see if the body number may well start with an 8, and please let me know. I agree with John Harper that your batch number for BN1 227026 body 9578 is likely batch 5400, having been built 1st July '55. The body number stamping on the bonnet should be located along the left outer edge, about 10" or so forward of the rear corner curvature. You may not see the number for two reasons. 1. it's full of paint, or 2. it may not have any number stamped there at all if it has been a replacement from over the dealer's counter, in other words, not original to the car. Of course your early car's bonnet skin will be aluminum, the later one will be steel.

The following link shows the restoration of Sarah Frost's 100M by Lynn Martin of Forever Healeys and page 3 of the restoration photos documents the amount of either black paint on the chassis, or the original dark brown primer that was never painted body color since these areas were masked by other body panels when the car was painted at the factory. http://www.foreverhealeys.com/M/Documentation2/Austin%20Healey100MWelcome.htm I discussed these issues with Lynn when he restored the car and he sent be still photographs of the original chassis and the areas obviously pained black.

If yours had evidence of black paint in there, then paint it black; if there's no evidence of black, or you're changing the color from something else and are down to metal, then paint it all white.

Please document your original engine bay color in pictures and send me the photos as I would like to add this evidence to my collection. I have personally seen BN2's painted both ways and a number of OEW BN1's with the black engine bays however I still need photographic documentation of the early white cars without the black engine compartment if anyone has photos.

There are four used on all four mounting bolts on the rear bumper. They fit the inner curved contour of the bumper and can be tightened without distorting the bumper contour. On the front bumper only two of these curved spacers used, to fit the contour of the bumper where the over rider bolt will tighten. There are threaded brackets welded on the front bumper to take the force when tightening the mounting bolts on the front mounting brackets. These provide a flat surface for the front valance to mount by having the valance slots pinch firmly between the brackets and weldments.

This means I get to spend more time out in the garage. Having been walking into the garage for a few months now and seeing my forlorn Healey sitting there I finally broke down and started on the project (yes, I realize I have two other project ongoing, but hey, so it goes). Spent the first part of the weekend on the loose parts inventory. I've got lots of wierd bits floating around, but also some good things on hand like a spare starter, distributor, and dynamo (which sounds far more cool than generator or alternator). Sunday I reattached a number of the parts that were laying loose (the driver's side door, and other pieces). With that done I was able to assess that the car really is 90-95% complete (although a lot will need to be replaced). Short of having the wrong transmission and no soft fabrics it's looking feaily good. Last night and this evening I stripped all the lights off the car. They're in pretty rough shape but the guts are there. Then, after using the nifty wishlist feature at Moss, I quickly remembered why I stick with cheap cars.... $500.00 for all the necessary bits to restore the lights. eesh. Now I remember why I don't restore expensive cars. If you're bored I wrote it up on my website and shot some video. Next it's going to be restoring those bits I removed, storing them away for reassembly and tackling the exhaust system.

Tadek, That is the $64,000 question. No, we don't know why some were black and some remained body color. Please document your original engine bay color in pictures and send me the photos as I would like to add this evidence to my collection. I have personally seen BN2's painted both ways and a number of OEW BN1's with the black engine bays however I still need photographic documentation of the early white cars without the black engine compartment if anyone has photos.

Don't know where that comes from or if it's universally available. It's a pale brown liquid with a very fine cutting compound in (fairly nominal) suspension. Alcohol based I think as it dries off pretty quick. Good stuff. I'd guess that any auto parts place will have it or its equivalent. If he's fussy, he'll need to wax the car after use, as T-Cut, or similar generic, strips off the wax/polish/top few microns(++) of paint to get at the fresh stuff beneath. You would not therefore use it every time you prepped the car!

I like Nu Finish as it will restore much of the color without resorting to abrasives which will actually remove material from the car. If your color comes back with the Nu Finish and you feel those tiny rough bumps, use a clay on it. That will dislodge the tiny particles and save your paint. If that doesn't get a great result, go to rubbing/buffing compounds. Wilko San Diego On Oct 14, 2008, at 5:08 AM, Jim Ryan wrote: > My son just bought a 97 VW GTI.

As far as I know it's the original gauge and the copper tube appears to be silver ie. zinc plated. >> >> I couldn't find anything stamped on the back.

I think you may have nailed it. I have iron valve guides, but I had been messing with the mixture a bit and If I got it too lean maybe it got warm enough to make a valve stick. As further evidence, the cooling system overflowed when the engine stopped and maybe that's where the heat came from. The rear carb seems to be lean no matter where I set the jet. I suppose there may be some junk in the orifice. I hate pulling the air cleaners. (not enough joints in the fingers) but it sounds like the right thing to do. I'll see if I can clear it by revving and blocking the intake. If not i'll have to pull the jet. > > Bill Lawrence > ________________________________ >> From: mayorrichard@hotmail.com >> To: rchaskell@earthlink.net; ynotink@msn.com >> CC: healeys@autox.team.net >> Subject: RE: [Healeys] FW: Things that make you go Hmm! >> Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2008 01:16:09 +0000 >> >> How old are your valve springs?

That would definitely help those of us who weren't bright enough to get them in time, but need the information to start restoration.

Bill, Never happened to me on a British push rod engine, but I would rationalize your failure as one of the following.... as your push rod was not bent and the cup/nothing was broken - I am assuming standard lifter and rocker surfaces and profiles: 1. The valve stuck open for enough time for the push rod to be floating and therefore side step the tapet 2. The aggressive ? cam profile you are using allowed the inertia of the rod and valve train to not immediate follow the profile - pretty unlikely 3. The push rod temporarily bent under stress at right rpm due to a natural frequency standing wave being set up in the rod but did not break - long enough to pop out. I would say that 1 is the most likely. Robert N.

G'day My first car was a BMC Morris Mini 850 and there have been a total of 7 BMC Minis in my life since then, ranging from relatively standard cars to a fairly quick Cooper S. Thankfully I am now fully cured and they are all just a memory. However in a number of them I had a push-rod come adrift from the rockers. Never caused any damage and it was just a matter of putting it back together again. I will say that in every one of the bloody things I also had valve problems and cracked cylinder heads.

Bill, Never happened to me on a British push rod engine, but I would rationalize your failure as one of the following.... as your push rod was not bent and the cup/nothing was broken - I am assuming standard lifter and rocker surfaces and profiles: 1. The valve stuck open for enough time for the push rod to be floating and therefore side step the tapet 2. The aggressive ? cam profile you are using allowed the inertia of the rod and valve train to not immediate follow the profile - pretty unlikely 3. The push rod temporarily bent under stress at right rpm due to a natural frequency standing wave being set up in the rod but did not break - long enough to pop out. I would say that 1 is the most likely. Robert N.

Fellow Healeyoids, I'm working on the interior of my 63 BJ7 and I have a question about seat padding. I have a leather seat kit from AH Spares and four foam seat cushions for the insides of the seats. Where can I get some of that blue foam that goes on the backs of the seats like shown in the Moss video? Also, how thick is it? I would guess that is about 1/4 inch thick dense foam. I'm heading out of town tomorrow and I would like to pick up some foam an a car upholstery place. Thanks!

Living in Hong Kong, I only get back to California from time to time to drive my BN1 - I've been gone as long as a year, and the car starts no problem every single time. With respect to the tri-carb valve sticking - Valves will stick if using bronze guides and/or not getting enough lubrication. That being said if it sat a while and there was a little bit of rust build up in a cast iron guide, that could have caused the sticking as well. the only thing I can suggest is drive the car daily for a few hundred miles over a couple of weeks and if it doesn't stick again, your problem will likely be solved. Marvel Mystery Oil is probably a good idea in this case, although I've never used it personally, but many people swear by it.

Friday Funny A man walks out to the street and catches a taxi just going by. He gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says, "Perfect timing. You're just like Frank." Passenger: 'Who?' Cabbie: 'Frank Feldman. He's a guy who did everything right all the time. Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things happened like that to Frank Feldman every singl e time.' Passenger: 'There are always a few clouds over everybody.' Cabbie: 'Not Frank Feldman. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand-Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star and you should have heard him play the piano. He was an amazing guy.' Passenger: 'Sounds like he was something really special.' Cabbie: 'There's more.. He had a memory like a computer. He r emembered everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, whic h foods to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Frank Feldman, he could do everything right' Passenger: 'Wow, some guy then.' Cabbie: 'He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank, he never made a mistake, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. He would never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too - He was the perfect man! He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Frank Feldman.' Passenger: 'An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?' Cabbie: 'Well, I never actually met Frank, he died and I married his f*%$&ng widow.' _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Healeys@autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys http://www.team.net/archive From healeys-bounces@autox.team.net Fri Oct 17 10:54:58 2008 From: Editorgary@aol.com To: healeys@autox.team.net Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2008 11:52:56 EDT Subject: Re: [Healeys] Square keys in round locks?

It seems to me that would change the position of the shackle. In effect, you are going to flatten the leaf spring arch and thereby move the axle up relative to the frame. Your body clearance from the ground will be reduced by the same amount and that I do not like. Better talk to David Nock over at British Car Specialists before you do that. Adjusting those springs is hit and miss. You might want to make sure your U bolts, brackets and related hardware in centered and properly lined up. That was my problem and now it sits just fine. How about putting some heavy weight in your trunk and letting it sit. Would that not do the same thing?

I too have the same problem with it sitting high and was told to leave it and it would settle. After 4 years and several thousands of miles it hasn't settled and the axle is still hard on the chassis. I spoke to a Leaf spring supplier here in the UK this morning and explained my problem and they said they could re-profile the springs without any issue. Simply tell them how much you need to drop them by and they can do it in less than an hour. My springs are coming off this weekend to be sorted. I hope this helps.

I've done the "rev and block airflow" technique and the rear carb is now reacting to tuning as it's supposed to. Must have been something in the jet. At least that's the theory until something better comes along. Thanks for the input.

Regarding the price...beyond my limited checkbook but a rare find for the right person which Joe seemed ready to wait for. Aloha Perry I've come into possession of a 1960 Austin-Healey BT7 with 13,800 original miles. It has original paint, seats, interior panels, carpet, top, tonneau cover, side curtains, side curtain bag, tools, all chrome, wheels & tires and has a factory hardtop in original condition (the wheels and tires are a bit rough looking). The spare tire appears to have never been used. Hoses, belts, some suspension bushings have been replaced. In order to drive it, it is currently shod with Minilite replicas with 205/65 tires. These are not intended to go with the car. Also included are all of the original parts replaced. The car is Old English White with a red interior with white piping in the seats. The dash looks as new. All of the above are in very good condition along with the mechanicals. If you are interested in becoming the custodian of this surviving piece of history, we are accepting offers in keeping with its extremely rare original condition. The car will be displayed in the car corral at Fall Hershey (Hershey, PA USA), Oct. 8 - 11. Please email me for pictures or with any questions.

I second Perry's remarks, particularly about the satisfying "thunk" the doors make. It was a real treat to see a Healey as it was really built. Charlie is to be commended on his efforts to return back to original some of the modifications the previous owner had made without thinking of the car's historical value, such as fitting Minilites, a repro distributor cap (why ??) and bumblebee ignition wires. Fortunately all the replaced original parts came in a box with the car, and Charlie has been changing things back wherever feasible. An amazing time capsule !

Joe and I are actually co-owners of the car, but he doesn't really have much Austin-Healey experience and I've owned a '62 Tricarb BT7 since 1973. No, we didn't sell the car at Hershey, but figure that it got some good exposure. It's hard to know how much the economy problems had to do with what went on at Hershey, but it was very pleasant being there with all of the wonderful non-fall Hershey type weather that we had Thursday through Saturday. The paint on the underside of the trunk lid is actually discolored due to the close proximity of the spare tire, which has just been sitting in the same spot for 48 years.

Of the 620 certs currently in the BJ8 registry collection, most (including yours) do give a number for the ignition key, but only one of them also gives the glovebox key number. Why the certs list an ignition key number but not a glovebox key is something perhaps only BMIHT can answer. The most likely explanation is that the glovebox key numbers were not recorded on the Body Production Windscreen Cards. However, in some cases where the BJ8 registry collection has more than one copy of a cert obtained at different times for the same car, the data provided is not the same. For example, one cert for HBJ8L/25447 gives numbers for gearbox, rear axle, and key while the other cert gives none of those numbers. None of the 52 certs I have for the very last BJ8s, between chassis 42922 and the very last one (43026) give any key numbers at all.

Unless you need to remove the manifold--like if there's an intake leak through the gasket--why bother? There isn't much to clean and--unless there's a bunch of crud inside (shouldn't be)--there isn't much to be gained. You can clean the outside with carb cleaner or similar. Also too, you'll have to pull the exhaust manifold as well since it shares the gasket with the intake manifold and you'll have to replace the gasket. That said, since you're ready to pull it already, you need to be careful. The manifold is aluminum and easy enough to break. It's probably stuck to the gasket which in turn is stuck to the head. About all you can do is GENTLY try to get some sort of wedge in there to break the gasket away from the head (you can scrape the gasket off the manifold later). What works best is a thin, metal putty knife sharp enough to penetrate the gasket with some CAREFUL encouragement from your fist or a small hammer. Work all the way around the manifold, working the putty knife in deeper and prying the manifolds away from the head until the gasket gives up the ghost.

If you have an electronics supply store near by, pick up a couple of resistors in that range. Disconnect the lead from the sending unit. Ground the lead and turn on the key - the gauge should read zero. Unground the lead and the gauge should go to full. Attach a resistor between the lead and ground. The gauge should read the ratio of the resistance divided by 100. If you have a 50 ohm resistor, the gauge should read half full.

If you are sure all the fasteners are removed, then the manifold is probably stuck to the gaskets. You can spray some penetrating oil along the joint line, rap on the manifold with a soft mallet or piece of wood to set up vibrations, repeat, and eventually the stuck gaskets will release.

Richard, Just for the record my experience is recent as in the last week and happened in the state of Nebraska and that is one reason the article hit home. Street racing is probably prevalent in my state as well but I truly try to follow the law and know that there are bad cops that abuse their authority as well as good ones that are just trying to enforce the laws of the state. I just had an extremely bad experience over a minor class V misdemeanor violation. I have decided that I will just pay the tickets instead of removing the tint as this was my first fix it ticket since moving to the state in 2005. The fix it ticket was given in another city and I have never had any problems in my hometown. You truly need to be aware of the laws in your state or you just may be in for a big surprise when you least expect it.

Life long California resident, and life long car nut here. Even as a died in the wool car nut, it is easy to see the linked to article was about as far and as objective as an editorial in Pravda. Street racing is a problem, not only in California but pretty much everywhere else I travel to. Last time I was in Vancouver BC there had been several recent deaths due to street racers, and as a consequence the police were cracking down on the "ricers". Here in California, tinted windows will not automatically get you a cite and search, as Don said. I have tinted windows on my daily driver, and I don't get stopped. No front plate will get you a cite here as they are required by law. I can tell you that there are tons of modified cars here in California, and very few of them ever get tickets. Ed, you call tell the guys on the Bugeye list that the way law here in California is written is that there is no way in hell they can get an exhibition of speed ticket.
