Most likely caise is crap under a float needle keeping the fuel flowing and overflowing the rear carb. May be lucky by simply tapping the rear float lid to dislodge the dirt and allow the needle to seat fully and shut off the fuel flow as intended. If that doesn't do the trick, unscrew float lid and clean the needle and seat area. Check float level adjustment while there and make sure the brass seat is screwed down tight. Might need to consider cleaning the fuel lines and installing an inline fuel filter before the carbs.

If they pump too much pressure (most aftermarkets do) then it will push too much fuel into the carb and override the float's cut off jet, and flood the carbs and overflow on the garage floor. You have to get a pump that pumps at 4 psi or less, preferably less than 2.5 PSI. Do your research on the Facet pumps, they are not all the same. Also make sure your float jets are clean and free of crud. A lot of times old pumps go bad because the fuel tank/lines are full of rust / crud and thus the pumps get clogged up and break. Then you put a new pump on and it starts pumping lots of backed up crud into your carbs, clogging the float jet needles open causing your flooding problem. I'd reccommend draining your fuel tank and cleaning it out, I bet there's a nice pile of crud in it.

When this happens they fill with petrol and sink causing the phenomenon described here with petroll pouing onto the floor and the fuel pump ticking furiously. The solution is to replace the float, but beware I have had one of the new ones suffer the same problem. I had the same problem with the fuel sender on an old F350 truck. In that case we were able to find the leak and drill the hole out so we could re-solder it. One of the carb floats is sitting on a shelf in my garage and after 2 years is still full of petrol so these pinholes are very small and the problem can take years to occur. I hope this helps.

Most likely caise is crap under a float needle keeping the fuel flowing and overflowing the rear carb. May be lucky by simply tapping the rear float lid to dislodge the dirt and allow the needle to seat fully and shut off the fuel flow as intended. If that doesn't do the trick, unscrew float lid and clean the needle and seat area. Check float level adjustment while there and make sure the brass seat is screwed down tight. Might need to consider cleaning the fuel lines and installing an inline fuel filter before the carbs.

My wife and I were out running some errands and we decided to stop for lunch at a local pizza shop. We were right across the street from Central Mass Powersports motorcycle dealer.While were were sitting enjoying our pizza, I spotted a white Healey driving down Electric Ave in Lunenburg Ma. I believe it was a 100-6 with steel disk wheels. The driver was heading towards Walmart. Then a couple of minutes later the same Healey came tooling on past heading back towards Fitchburg. I'm somtimes at the same pizza place enjoying a slice with my white BJ8 sitting out front. I had my BRG Mini today. Was this someone on the list? He sure seemed to be enjoying the ride.

Plywood was 1250mm x 2500mm or 1500mm x 3000mm, which I found very odd and amusing at the time as in the NL these timbers were/are still referred to as 2x3 and the sheets are still 2440mm x 1220mm, hence my remark. You are right that 8'x4' should be labeled as 8'x4' and not in mm v.v. which is rather senseless. If a metric equivalent would be used it should be 1250mm x 2500mm. Still I prefer the metric threads, simpel and straight forward. To many sorts of UK and USA standards of threads (and associated threads) that can be very much alike and actually sometimes can be screwed together without a proper fit. Even finding the proper socket for it can be a chore, some indicated by the thread and others AF and the actual socket sizes not being interchangable, which leads to a WW-set, a BSF-set, an AF set and who knows what. The worst thing is that in most British cars several of these different UK and USA thread standards are used in one car.

There are the few and far between woodyards who will supply imperial but invariably you are charged the nearest metric (over) price! The reason is because we now import most of our timber pre-cut to metric size and don't season and transform [cut from the tree] our own stuff. Even the machinery that makes the pulped and laminated material we do make over here is calibrated to make metric sizes because we don't make the machinery in the UK any more. If you go to a yard that seasons their own timber and talks of a 'timber standard' [a volume of timber that varied dependant on the cut size] - you'll get your wood cut to an imperial size!

And as you correctly identified that a planed piece of 2" will reduce from 50mm to 45mm, the wood has never changed only the politically correct label, but to the trade its still 2" planed. I think your problem in the 70s is that this was when we attempted to change (or have it forced on us) I think you will find 8" is still 2440mm (they round it up from 2438.4mm to make it easier) I have been 'dragged' up using both forms of measurement and did some full size 'setting out' for a time (look it up). I still have to think twice about unf though, and usually pick up the wrong spanner. cheers Andy _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live Messenger: Thanks for 10 great yearsenjoy free winks and emoticons. http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/157562755/direct/01/ _______________________________________________ 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 Mon Aug 3 11:23:37 2009 From: To: BJ8 Healeys , healeys@autox.team.net Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2009 13:00:25 -0400 Subject: Re: [Healeys] BJ8 vin and Motor number Thanks Steve.

If you pull to the side of the road and turn off the engine it is then OK to use them. As the law has only been effect for a short time, the wife, not driving, notices other driver habits as we are cruising the highways and byways. You can tell if the car or truck has an automatic transmission if the left foot (LHD for you guys in the Healey homeland) is perched on the dashboard. Things like holding your super big gulp in one hand and a cigarette in the other while correcting the youngster in the back seat. The modifications to eye make up or adjusting the comb over in the rear view mirror. However it is better than a couple months ago, before the ban, when we could not get around a guy in the fast lane who kept speeding up and then slowing down. Finally decided to pass in the right lane and as we got even with the Prius she looked to the left and sure enough the guy was texting away with both thumbs! Anyone remember when we didn't even have an answering machine on our home phones and people called back if was important? Guess that is one reason I like driving a 54 year old car....for the memories.

They are the favourites of our visitors from oversees. Even having the metric system we count wood volumina in very funny measures like Klafter. One Klafter is about 6 foot in lenth, but depending on the region. In some regions 6 foot are 1.8 meters, in others 1.85 meters, in others 1.75 meters. But a Klafter can also be 6 foot x 6 foot x 3 foot when used as a volumina measure. Confused?? But we also use Ster as measurement for similar. 1.0 Fest-meter (fm) = 1.4 Raum-meter/Ster (rm) = 2.0 bis 2.4 Schuettraum-meter (srm). Now you seem really confused?? I can go on with these examples for a while. But you may understand that we needed something like the meter to stop this chaos. Personally I see it as a good brain training to be able to switch from inches/foot to meters and back. That4s much easier than crossing a road in a country having "left hand drive" roads.

Who in their right mind would take their hands off the wheel and eyes off the road to compose text messages on that itty bitty keyboard. Oh Excuse me, the same idiots who drink coffee and eat a donut while glancing at a newspaper while driving. Thank God it takes two hands and too feet to drive a Healey as opposed to a finger and a toe to drive a newer car. And, what is so G@# D#$% important that it can not wait until one gets to the next off ramp or rest area. I have had a phone in my car since the days when the unit was a big box in the trunk and you had an honest to god handset and keypad like a Princess phone mounted on the tranny tunnel. My first car phone (old term) was in 1988 and I needed it as I had a territory that covered California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington and drove almost all of the time. I have ALWAYS pulled over to take and make calls. How many of us have heard calls in the supermarket "oh Hi - whatcha doing?" "me neither - just shopping" "Oh OK call you later" The other voice is probably saying something just as inane. It never ceases to amaze me that while there are statutes on the books in every state against reckless driving or unsafe driving, all of a sudden every single thing has to be spelled out meticulously. Could it be that we have too many attorneys in this country looking for loopholes while people get killed? My rant for the day but I do get tired of loopholes.

I found a local race shop who fitted a larger aluminum throttle pedal, 2 Dennis Wesh Racing pedals for brake and clutch and a fabricated dead pedal/foot rest. Unfortunately they didn't set them up properly. Footrest was near floor - well below the clutch - hard to lift foot quickly to clutch. Also were too close together and had to run through the sprint braking with the side of my foot to avoid the throttle. To top it off, the new accelerator pedal came loose, rotated and got stuck under the brake! Managed to stop without mishap but it was close. I have just picked it up after getting the work corrected and all now working. Throttle moved to the right, close to kick panel, clutch to left and in the process created plenty of space. Dead pedal is now at clutch height - better position for bracing and at clutch level. Throttle pedal is lower than brake and it's width and length makes it easier to heel / toe. Mission accomplished.

It is in alphabetical order according to subject. It is also clickable. That being the case, I am going to leave it alone and find something else to do with my idle time -- like doing odds and ends on my Healey now that I am driving it again after a couple of years of fixing things on it.

Period. There is simply no call that is more important than my life and the lives of the occupants of my car. That is what voice mail is for. I check mine when I am parked somewhere and respond if necessary. June 9, of last year, I made a left hand turn, from the highway, into the entrance road of a gas station (yes, I had the right of way and the light) and a cop, who was on his cell phone, pulled out and broadsided me, in the drivers' door. I could see him as he drove into my car. I watched him as he hung up and dialed the police dispatcher. When I crawled out the passenger side of the car, the cop asked why didn't I see him. My response was that I had the light and the right of way and he should have seen me and not been on his cell phone. His response "Get back in your car, I am a cop". He never asked if I was hurt or if I need an EMT squad. I sensed this scene would not end well. When all was said and done, the official police report (my report) of the accident, indicated on the "Conditions contributing to the accident" line, "nothing". On the cop's report (the other driver) the statement was "Driver inattention". So, the accident reporting officer basically said the cop driver was at fault, not paying attention (on his cell phone) at the time. I still have my copy of the police report filed with my insurance company, if anyone would like to see it. My insurance company laughed at the report and then told me they were totaling my car (not the Healey, but an Audi turbo, 5 speed) and sending me a check. Of course the check was not as much as it should have been, it never is. So, even the cops can not drive, pay attention to the road, situations around them, and be safe on a cell phone at same time. No one was injured and that is the only thing that counts. Cars and vehicles can be replaced or repaired. Drivers and occupants on the other hand, often cannot be repaired completely and certainly not replaced. Our kids also follow the same practice. I have called them and when they respond, their first comment was they were driving and waited until they were parked somewhere. I am happy with that.

In late '07 I purchased a complete set (fronts and rears) of relined brake shoes from Carbotech (used my cores). They were done in their compound # 913, green in color and, quote, "mainly a track compound but can be used on the street". I paid $159.00 for fronts and the same for the rears, total $318.00 plus shipping. When I tried to install them I found the lining was a bit thicker than the originals and in order to get the rear drums on I filed a bit from the ends of the shoes (flanges?) that meet up with the cylinders. I am now looking to install 'normal' brakes on this car and am exploring the possibility of trading these for a set of street-lined shoes. I would consider a set needing relined, or bare cores, at some adjustment in compensation. Anyone have a set they don't need - make me an offer? Let me know; I can be reached at 412 287 8935 (cell) most times if a conversation is in order.

I am getting some serious interference from behind because of the pop rivets that hold on the lower grille brackets. What needs to be done here, bend out the strip a little in these three areas or try and grind down the back of the rivets and hope they still secure the brackets in place when I'm done. I assume my choice of pop rivets were a little on the long side. Other than that I don't see how the factory fit this piece on without the rivet interference. Man, ya think the reassembly is going to be a piece of cake. Can't wait to try and slip that grille in from the side and fit it up.

In the car talk----people can see the surroundings and have control of when to talk and when the driving situation is too bad to talk---Cell phone caller--not---and, by the time the user tells them to stop it is after the fact. Talk, in car---not holding a phone to your ear---not dialing or looking up pre-set numbers. Usually you can hear better in car so arn't distracted by intense focus on hearing and understanding the cell phone callers message. ---- Heard wrote: > Well, I've been reading this thread and have a question.

That is because even if you are talking with someone in the car you have a second pair of eyes to give you early warning for potential danger, whereas on the phone you get no such benefit. I think this study said having a second passenger in the car, even if you were talking with them, would cut your accident rate in half.

Situational awareness. The passenger can usually see an upcoming situation (such as someone cutting you off) and interrupt their end of the conversation until the emergency is over. The person on the other end of the phone will not only continue to distract the driver, but may even become upset and scream at the driver that the driver isn't listening to them. And yes, some passengers are oblivious and some phoners are aware of the needs of the driver. Studies have also shown that, even with hands-free headsets, a phone conversation is just as much a distraction as to be dangerous. -- Kent McLean '56 100 BN2 _______________________________________________ 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 Wed Aug 5 10:10:17 2009 From: Ray Juncal To: List Healey Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2009 08:39:05 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [Healeys] B-Ville cars news letter Patrick Nice job on the news letter.

I-25 southbound in Albuquerque has three or four lanes of traffic and full width shoulders for emergencies. As I was proceeding south at about 70 MPH , which is 5 MPH over the speed limit. I was in the left lane, but I was overtaken by what could only have been VIP at about 80 MPH on my left, that is in the shoulder area. As he came along side in his new Lexus SUV I saw that he was conversing intently on his hand held cell phone. At about the same time I noticed a Chevy or Ford 3/4 ton dually stalled on the shoulder about a quarter mile ahead. I figured that Leadfoot must have seen it too because he dropped back. A few seconds later I discovered that my surmise was in error as I watched the guy plow straight into the rear of the pickup at highway speed in my rear view mirror. I don't know what his hurry was, but I can guarantee he missed his first appointment that day and voided the warranty on his truck. I hope his air bags worked.

Sorry to shout, but this is the first step in getting BN1 #554 back on the road. My new lifters (cam followers or tappets if you insist) arrived from Denis Welch. So now I need to ask if anyone has a few (I need 3) spare pushrods laying around that they might be willing to part with. The requirement is that they must be the solid type with the 3/8" spherical end and they need to be straight. The second objective is to find a reliable source of engine oil still containing ZDDP. I checked the local NAPA store, but the Valvoline VR1 they could order was rated as SL, SM. Still looking for a source of "primitive" oil.

Now hear them on "The Healey DVD". I understand that it's available at www.HistoricHealeys.com and no doubt wherever good Healey people meet. I highly recommend it to anyone interested and no I don't receive a zillion dollars for everyone sold. However there is a certain amount of personal vanity involved as you will not only get to see my car, but yours truly as well.

It's primary use is for making long distance calls as we got tired of all the fees and taxes on the landline phone. I carry the cell with me when I leave the house but do not turn it on if my wife is with me. I turn it on when she is NOT with me so SHE can contact ME in case of emergency. Chapter Two: > ---sure hope you don't get caught out in the middle of nowhere....... and > have no way to call anyone least of which is AAA and for ordering an > overnight parts shipment..... I don't know how much things have changed but a few years ago a friend acquired a phone through the AAA for a trip from California to the Midwest - 'in case of emergency'. He found out that "in the middle of nowhere" there were no cell towers and no connections. Heck, there are people here in town who encounter dead spots in or around their homes where their cell phones are unable to connect. Chapter Three: Was in Radio Shack (Excuse me. Now it is just "The Shack") the other day and while being waited on, the phone rang. The clerk told the caller that he had customers in line and he couldn't talk to him right then and hung up. I thanked him for doing that. Then I found out that the clerk had the attitude that the caller was too lazy to come to the store and he couldn't be bothered answering a question on the phone. I do not agree with the the clerk's attitude. If a store is a distance away, especially in another town, I will not drive there for minor information or to find out if they have an item in stock and, most likely, find out they do NOT when I get there. I will call ahead before making the trip. If they are busy, I will not mind calling back although I think the better solution from a customer satisfaction position would be that they take my phone number and call ME at their first opportunity. Chapter Four: I firmly believe, and am convinced by all the research and studies being reported, and observation on the road, that the use of cell phones while driving, along with eating, reading, etc., is a major distraction and should be avoided (I have never seen a study that said it is OK to be talking or texting while driving). I believe that driving takes 100% of one's concentration and if you're trying to do something else at the same time, you can do neither adequately. I will accept the statistics before someone who says, "I do it all the time and haven't had an accident". (...yet.?)

Creation of a PDF version means it will be distributed for free by pirates (knowingly or not). Most readers still want the glossy version. So the cost would go up and membership would go down.

Martin had to move his entire business and inventory twice last winter and now has a great new place which will be much better suited to his business needs. He's a good friend who is very serious about supplying the best quality products to his customers even though there have been a number of factors he's had no control over (including illness, he's fine now). Please try to be patient and continue to support his business and he will do his best to fill the orders.

They also said needle wobble could be caused by the inner sticking too far into the speedo head and sent a diagram indicating that the distance from the ferrule on the outer cable to the end of the inner cable should be 7/16". The ferrule of the outer cable should sit firmly on the end of the speedo head. If it doesn't then the inner is too long or there is a bit of broken cable jammed into the speedo head. My cable fits perfectly on the speedo head and my needle still wavers a bit. I think there is a weak spot in the inner that is not transferring the changes in RPM smoothly so it sort of winds and unwinds a bit, causing the needle to fluctuate (just a theory). I will wait until it is really bad then replace the inner cable. Talking of which - anyone have a source for someone who can make up the inner cables? Alpha Instruments in Toronto used to make my cables, but poor old Ted, the owner, suffered rapid onslaught of dementia and the contents (including all the NOS Smith's instruments and sender units) was sold off. I have no idea who bought it. Ted worked for Smiths (Canada) and bought their stock and all their machinery for making cables and testing Speedos when they pulled out of Canada. cheers, Mirek ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Johnson" How long should this distance be?

The screens are a bit of a bear to get out - you have to bend them while pulling one edge up as far as possible into the groove, until the opposite edge pops out of its groove. I did this for the first time last month without breaking anything. The outside, front screen is fixed and the channel will have been pinched onto it in several places. I still managed to wiggle mine back far enough to clear the front groove, then I did as above, bending them to spring them out. While you have them apart, clean up the frames - but be gentle - they are anodized aluminium and you do not want to use abrasives or wire wool as you could go through the anodizing. If you are going all the way they can be re-anodized to look like new, but it is big bucks. On mine the two brackets are somewhat rusted and I gently cleaned them up. No-one seems to know what the finish is on these (that is a sure way to flush a response from the list). I have ruled out zinc or cadmium plating, and it is too hard for paint - it is a mystery. If you remove them - check the concours guide for the correct orientation of the acorn nuts (inside or outside) as it differs for the two brackets and I would not trust the last person who messed with them to have got it right. The seals in the grooves are felt, not rubber. Only the slider has the felt, the fixed one does not. You can get the felts, and replacement perspex from the usual suppliers, I know Bob Yule at Autofarm and British Car Specialists (the Nocks) carry them. Or you can go to your local fabric store and just buy the appropriate weight of felt and cut it into strips. The old felt should mostly pull out, but you have to have removed the perspex first. The channels can then be cleaned out with any handy item, but try to minimize (avoid!) scratching the alloy. You could also get the perspex replacements made up at a good plastic shop. I did not try to clean up my old perspex - you are on your own there. The new felt strips can be glued back into the channels with contact cement, but I would only apply it to the bottom of the channel not the sides, or you will never get them to seat properly. If you go the home-made route, it may be easier to cut them oversize and trim them later. I am now at the point of re-fitting the new perspex. I have done a quick try and it looks like a bear of a job as the new felt is not compressed like the old crap I took out. I have yet to devote time to this to work out a good procedure.

Donald was about getting the most out of a car and making it your own. Back when I worked at Austin Healey Enterprises (Reseda, CA) back in the 70s, there was a guy customizing his son's wrecked 100-6 with tooled saddle leather seats, horn shifter, and western paint color scheme. additionally, it had a western scene painted on the engine side of the bonnet so you could see it with it raised. Engine bolts were capped with brass and chrome. Donald came by to have a car looked at for shipment back to England ( he commented on having to buy one of his own cars). He saw the custom car and was impressed with the craftsmanship. I never got the feeling he was insulted by the efforts. I do wonder where that car is though......

It seems I have a flaky boot switch (3rd one Ive had in there) but not convinced that was the original issue. I just finished driving this car over 2,500 miles from New Hampshire to Utah without issue (I have been meaning to post about that but havent gotten around to it) but have broken down twice in the last week while close to home...

Do not just check it, but take the wire off, clean both the area where the wiring connects and clean and sand the terminal and the lug on the wire. You can build up a high resistance there and when you hit the starter switch it will literally create a disconnecting of the wire against the terminal. You can usually tell if this is the problem if you have all power to the headlights etc. with the key turned on, before you start it. When you hit the starter you will usually hear a click and then you lose all power to headlights etc. Ask me how I know.

Tom, Three digest posts have passed and not one expert answered your questions. I'll try, then they can jump on my ignorance. PORTING AND POLISHING. Our wonderful engines are made of cast iron. The manufacturers do what they can to make them work, but they are working against cost. Working on the ports takes the process one big step further by improving the gas flow. You do need a good mechanic, and I had one, to know how to "polish" the port and orate a better swirl to the gas flow. MILD STREET CAM The cam governs how long the valve is open. The longer the intake valve is open, the more gas in the cylinders. Cams can be gotten from stock to racing, m;id to aggressive. Mine allows a bit of extra gas in the cylinder on intake. If you had a racing car you would want an aggressive cam to allow as much gas in the cylinder as possible. Both of the above increase power, as well as the larger cylinder bored .040 over stock. I noticed an immediate improvement, but then I was comparing it with an engine that needed to be rebuilt. PISTON RODS....Once again we are back to cost. The manufacturer can only require so much tolerance per item, which translates into cost. Naturally they have to hit the trarget of final price. By working on the internal parts of the engine, we can eliminate some of the energy wasted by the manufacturers required tolerances. Sorry if I explain all tis as a matter of cost, but I'm an ex product manager, and everything we manufactured was in relationship to cost. Remember, when Donald Healey planned what became an Austin Healey, he wanted to be capable of going 100MPH, and price it between and MG, and a Jaguar. That target determined what went into the car in terms of parts, and manufacturing costs.

I FWIW, I'll share my little piece of the puzzle. I credit Bill Wood, 100S and !00M guy extraordinaire, with saving a significant amount of Healey history. Bill recognized the import of the 100S and 100M long before the rest of the Healey community and a significant number of "S" cars resided in his garage in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts due to his eforts in tracking them down. In the late 1980s, Bill entered into an arrangement with Geoff Healey to obtain significant records of the Healey company, These included several "tea chests" full of documents such as original styling drawings by Gery Coker as well as correspondence relating to entries of the DMH teams at LeMans and Sebring. I voluntered to pick them up at Logan Airport in Boston after they cleared Customs and brought them home along with the canopy of the Bonneville Streamliner until Bill could bring them home. Being a responsible guy, I felt it was my duty to inspect the contents of the tea chests and packing crates.. In the words of Howard Carter upon peering into King Tut's tomb, when asked what he saw, I can only reply "wonderufl things". _______________________________________________ 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 Aug 7 18:30:31 2009 From: I Erbs To: David Nock Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2009 17:05:40 -0700 Subject: Re: [Healeys] Donald Healey Mini Yes that was the car.

It is quite common for new batteries to have some corrosion on the terminals, which gets worse when you use the battery, then forms a resistance barrier can causes all sorts or weird electrical faults.

I G'day Rick I stayed with Bill Woods in 1975 and while he did collect quite a few cars during that period I don't know if Bill recognised the import of the 100S and 100M long before the rest of the Healey community. In 1974 Australian Joe Jarick worked hard at the Donald Healey Motor Company in Warwick to gather together the factory records of the 100S cars, including the record breakers. It was through Joe that at one time during the mid 1970s that Australia had a total of 11 100Ss. I recall sitting at work one day in 1974 when the phone goes and it was Joe in the UK offering me a 100S for Aus$3,500, but I had to make the decision within 3 hours. I had bought the BN3/1 just the week beforehand and as a 23 year old at the time my finances were limited. I was in the UK after the US with my good friend Alan Jones (another 100S owner - and sadly killed in 1979 in a motor vehicle accident)that we saw quite a number of ex Works cars parked on the streets as they were just old sports cars. I bought the BN3/1 in 1974 way before anyone knew what it was. At the time Austin-Healey owners knew what the 100S and 100M were but they were things you read about in books. It was only during the late 1970s and early 1980s that the rest of the world became aware of the wonderful heritage left to us by the Donald Healey Motor Company. Being heavily involved at the time I would say that the catalyst that started the worldwide Healey community was not long after Alan and I visited to clubs in the US and the UK that Kevin Faughnan of the AH Club Pacific Centre produced the first international publication. It was while we were working on that (difficult in those pre email days) that we came up with the idea to invite DMH to the US. The interest quickly grew and the rest as they say is Healey History.

I turned off the engine to go into a store. When I came back to turn on the ignition there was a single click from the starter (or solenoid, not sure) and then nothing. I noticed that the fuel guage goes to empty and the horn does not work. Checked both fuses and they are good. If I turn off the battery switch in the boot and then turn it on again, the horn works again and if I turn the key the fuel guage comes back up to half (which is correct). If I press the start button, I hear the click and the fuel guage goes back to empty and horn does not work. Turning the battery switch off then on resets everything.

For a couple of generations the whole world has been telling us how primitive we are and how we could better organize our healthcare systems and now it looks like we, slow learners that we are, have finally caught on and may actually be joining the civilized world in medical Nirvana. But it brings a couple of questions to mind: 1. When our healthcare system looks just like theirs, where are Canadians and Europeans going to go for a heart surgery or cancer treatment or a joint replacement when they can't afford to wait 18 months? 2. When the government dictates the price of pharmaceuticals and destroys the evil drug companies by confiscating all of their "excess profits" who is going to develop the new generations of drugs to cure the diseases that haunt mankind? On the other hand it probably doesn't matter since the president's standard prescription is go home, take a pain pill and die. I suppose new medical research will be planned and financed from DC, in which case I foresee quantum leaps in technology in penile enhancement, breast enlargement, hair regeneration, weight loss and aesthetic dentistry since that is the level of seriousness evident in the congress. I also foresee a new maquiladora industry springing up in Juarez (thankfully not too far away) and Tijuana as medical professionals move south of the border and set up latter day Mayo clinics to serve all the gringos who can't get the care they need under the new plan.

They did MG's and Mini's as well as Austin Healeys. Completely seperate and much smaller was the Donald Healey Moter Company, a seperate and independant British business that applied to Austin/BMC for a budget to build mainly road racing cars for publicity from competing at Sebring in March, and LeMans in June. The Targa Florio was often entered. All these cars had chassis plates that did not mention AUSTIN HEALEY only the name HEALEY. Usually they were Healey Blue with white hardtops for 3000's. Sprites were red, or orange or green. Early Healey 100's were green. See Bill Emerson's excellant 'The Healey Book' for photographs of these chassis plates. You may not like it but the first owners of a freshly built Works Rally Healey were ----- MG Company. Painted red and white.

We are an tax exempt veterans organization recognized under the Internal Revenue Code provision 501(c)(19). We are the association of old Green Berets, to give you an idea of who we are. One of our main purposes is to provide assistance to veterans and their families, particularly those families of deceased or disabled veterans. As a means of raising funds to support our projects, I have made available my restored 1960 Austin-Healey BT7 for the Chapter. We will be raffling off the car on September 7, 2009 here in Waco. We have only very recently received the 2009 Membership Directory from the AHCA, and I got your contact information from that directory. I am contacting you as one of the officers of each AHCA Chapter or as an advertiser listed in the directory in hopes you can help us reach our goal. I ask the chapter officers to forward this email to their chapter members as well. My purpose of course is to solicit ticket sales in a hurry. The car is antique white with a new black soft top, and a white hard top. It also with side curtains. I have owned this car for approximately 13 years and it has continually been garaged and never since driven in the rain or on wet streets. There is no rust on this car as far as I know. It was restored prior to my purchase of it, but since owning the car, I have put fewer than 5,000 miles on it. The odometer reads 88,000 miles. I am 62 years old and was injured in Iraq in 2003 so driving the car long distances has become too burdensome. Thus, the idea to assist my Chapter in a fund raiser. We are limiting the number of tickets to 500 maximum. However we have only sold about 230 so far. Tickets are $100.00 each. If you would like to buy some tickets, please send your check payable to Chapter 93, SFA to me and I will complete your ticket stub and send it back to you. I will also send you a copy of the completed ticket for your records, a copy of the rules, and an Entrant Acknowledgment form for you to sign and return. This form is verifying that you are a legal resident of the US. The car will not go to an illegal alien. When you send your check, please include your daytime contact information, address and email address. We have sold tickets all over the US using this method and have had no complaints. The original drawing date was set for July 4, but we had not sold enough tickets at that time so the Chapter extended the date to September 7. I say this because when you receive your ticket portion, it will state the July 4 date. You need not be present to win. I am attaching a copy of the flier which shows pictures of the car. Thanks for your consideration, participation and assistance in helping us help the veteran community. Even if you cannot help us by buying a ticket, please forward this to your email addresses so they can consider participating. Thanks, Jon COL (Ret) Jon R. Ker P.O.

Although my experience is primarily on BJ8 electricals, and I understand prior model ignition and regulator systems may be somewhat different, I would expect them to be somewhat similar. If I were having this problem on my BJ8 phase 1, I would reflect on the fact that power passes from the battery, through the battery-side solenoid connection, to the regulator (brown wire). One brown wire on the regulator goes to the ignition switch and another goes directly to the unswitched portion of the fuse block (horn). Having a problem connection at the regulator could result in insufficient (or no) power being delivered to the horn and/or ignition switch directly which would then reduce (or eliminate) sufficient power delivered through the ignition switch to the gas gauge (switched side of the fuse block) and starter solenoid. In short, check the brown wires connected to your regulator, fuse block and ignition switch to see if all is well.

I hate to be a pain in the rear but I have, I hope, one final question. I put my second angle drive with washer and a new cable on my BJ 8 this morning and took it for a drive. The readings were smooth without any jump in the needle at slow or fast speeds. My only question/issue is the speedo does not read anything until about 20 mph. At that point it works like a charm. When I slow down below 20 mph it reads perfectly. Once I stop and start again it doesn't read until 20 mph and then it's fine. My question has two parts 1) has anyone had a similar experience or have any ideas on why this would be happening and what a fix would be and 2) before I take off for a long drive am I running a risk of breaking another angle drive?? Thank you again for your valuable insight.

If this cable is a poor conductor the starter current will pass through the conical spring in the master switch. This causes the spring to get red hot and loose its temper (springiness). This in turn results in the contacts on the switch not being pressed together resulting in rapid deterioration of the contacts and high resistance....i.e. no starts..
