If a tire develops a separation in the sidewall or tread, it can affect the rolling resistance of the tire and cause a pull to that side. If you switch the tires from left to right, etc., and the tire is the problem, the car will now pull in the opposite direction.

Then check all fulcrum/king pin links at the bottom, make sure somthing isn't loose or gone. Check track rod ends make sure one isn't so loose it is causing a tire to toe out. You can easily check for toe-out by parking car with wheels straight ahead. Take a long string and hold one end to the rear tire then pull the string forward to the front tire. If either of the front tires shows a slight "toe-out" when referncing the string that should indicate your problem. Finally, if none of this shows a problem, you may need to take your brake calipers off and check if one of the pistons is corroded and thus dragging a brake on the right disc.

I work for a car dealer, (not in sales) Costco leads have to be answered ASAP. If you look at the number of hours a dealer is open, and subtract 40 (The hours a full time salesperson works) you will figure out that either they have one guy that works way more than 40 hours per week or they have more than one person answering Costco leads. Costco probably gave you the name of the main guy that answers their leads. He could well have been off that day, and someone else answered the lead. The dealer also might have had a personel change and they did not get the paperwork at Costco changed. As far as two names go, I doubt it. In my state at least salespeople are fingerprinted and licensed.

Jackson wins the prize - at least according to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_stripe The original racing stripes were stripes applied to the Cunningham team of racing cars[1] to identify them in the field during races. Another purpose is to make it easier for a driver to align a spun out car with the circuit. > The first racing stripes were applied to high-performance prototype automobiles built as racecarsby Briggs Cunningham and placed into competition as his motorsport team, beginning in 1951.[citation needed] Cunningham racecars usually carried two parallel blue stripes running from front to rear in the center of the white body so that spectators could identify the team's automobiles readily during races. The stripes often were called "Le Mans stripes" because of the repeated efforts of Cunningham to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France, where the French had a great affection for him. His tradition was soon adopted by other racing teams in many venues. Thereafter, the use of racing stripes soon became common in the 1960s and early 70s for both race and road cars. Hope this helps.

It may be a schematic, but no.1 cylinder is no.1 cylinder and can only ever be in the front, at the firewall. Think about it, if anyone suggested that no.6 cylinder could ever have no.1 plug he'd not sell many more books? (And Haynes sold lots and lots and lots of books!). Here's something I filed some time back. Per Roger Moment:- "Starting at the high tension lead from the coil, and going CLOCKWISE, the hole just to the right is for the #6, the lower hole is for #3, the next lower hole to the left is for #5, the next lower hole to the left is for #1, the last lower hole to the left is for #4, and the other upper hole, just to the left of the coil lead is for #2. The firing order for a "6" is : 1, 5, 3, 6, 2, 4 If you look down at the cap and progress COUNTERCLOCKWISE starting with any of the wire numbers I identified, you will see that the sequence is correct."

Hi Folks, This topic is too good to just ignore, so I'm throwing in my $0.03 worth (inflation, plus tax). The FIA's colour schemes that were adopted/adapted over a few pints at a local pub were supposed to represent the driver's country colours. The commonly accepted colours can be found @ http://teamhealeytexas.com/Vintage%20FIA%20Colours/Vintage%20FIA%20Colours.ht m Racing stripes of course were for speed enhancement and improved cornering, but mainly were used to give everyone the impression that you were a serious race car driver and knew what you were doing. They also gave the driver something to look at, as a little Crosley Hotshot with a 1/3 of the displacement and horsepower went screaming past you at 50 mph.

You can, however, probably go to a machine shop and have them put in a soft steel sleeve which then can re-catch on the ridges on the stud. Otherwise you can get a used hub from all the usual suppliers like British Car Specialists or Cape. Incidentally, if you want a new unit, you can get them from AH spares.

Before the war Hitler had promoted German superiority through motor racing and this meant the Mercedes and Auto-Unions were supported by the state to defeat the rest of the world. It was agreed that teams would enter under their National Colours ( yes with an 'u' ) and so it was; US was white with a blie trim, either a colour band around the grille/air inlet or as others have said, Cunningham displayed the blue as a stripe. Thus we have British Racing Green, although Jaguar, Aston Martin and Healey all had their own shade. Australia was a British colony and so we had the basic car in B.R.G with a gold band - see Jack Brabham's Repco-Brabhams. The colour was as per the country of the entrant. That is why Stirling Moss was never able to win the championship as he always chose to stick with British made and entered cars. When Tony Vanderval ( of bearing fame) ditched the poorly organised B.R.M. ( British Racing Motors) he purchased a Ferrari, painted it green and raced until he developed the championship winning Vanwall. Then came US style advertising and................... say no more. _______________________________________________ Healeys@autox.team.net Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $12.75 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums From healeys-bounces@autox.team.net Thu Mar 4 06:17:54 2010 From: Patrick Yoas To: healeys@autox.team.net Date: Thu, 4 Mar 2010 05:16:56 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Healeys] IT LIVES!!!!

According to the respected German safety and testing organisation, DEKRA, if a pressure washer nozzle is held too close to the sidewall of a tyre at high pressure, serious damage can result in as little as five seconds! Even tyres that appear to be unaffected after being exposed to a pressure washer may have microscopic perforations which can weaken the tyre sidewall and cause deflation, leading to a possible blow-out. Other factors, says mytyres.co.uk, that may cause deterioration or damage to tyres include some soaps and detergents. These can remove protective chemicals that are embedded in the sidewall  they can sometimes be identified visually on the tyre as brown watermarks resulting in a significant reduction in durability. Motorists considering using a pressure washer on their cars should adhere to the following tips: a.. Ideally, use a light to medium duty pressure washer (110 bar or less) b.. Keep the washer nozzle at least 20cm from the tyre surface c.. Always use a fan nozzle to clean tyres, rather than a circular nozzle d.. Avoid prolonged jet washing of any one area of the tyre e.. Avoid aiming the water jet at the join between the tyre and wheel rim Best wishes to all, Guy R Day [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/gif which had a name of Blank Bkgrd.gif] _______________________________________________ Healeys@autox.team.net Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $12.75 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums From healeys-bounces@autox.team.net Thu Mar 4 09:02:09 2010 From: Bernard Cristalli To: Healey List Date: Thu, 04 Mar 2010 16:54:17 +0100 Subject: [Healeys] No earlier 3000 ?

I also have heard that there was a problem with one of the registries in England several years ago. I would like to know WHO is running this registry and what assurance we have that it is not released to the wrong people. I have had a 100/M here in the shop that when the owner went to register it with the 100/M registry it turned out that a restorer had received a 100/M vin tag and Heritage certificate for a real 100/M and then proceded to build 3 of the same cars. One was sold to a guy in California at one of the large auctions. The other 2 were sold in Austrailia and New Zeland. All three cars tried to register with the 100/M registry and this got caught.

David, healeydata.com is owned by Roger Los. Roger created the original site austinhealey.com back in the '90s. It is what inspired me to become the BJ8 registrar. 100M cars and their registry are a bit unique (similar to 100S cars). Since the production quantity of the 100M cars was extremely limited and the numbers are all known, and since a valid factory 100M is considered more valuable than a standard Hundred, then there is some incentive on the part of unscrupulous people to forge them and on the part of the registry to be secretive about their details. For the other models, there is no such incentive. The healeydata.com site is populated with information voluntarily submitted by owners. I would assume if they had any concern about what would happen to the information then they would not have submitted it in the first place. It is a database of interesting information about the cars more than it is a registry. There is no danger of it being released, because it is already available on-line at the site to whomever wants to look at it. There are already a ton of BJ8s out there that have had their numbers scrambled, exchanged, or re-created at some time in the past. This was probably done not for profit so much as to be able to register and use a car that might not otherwise be useable. For most of these cars, the only way the misidentification will come to light now is if the owners submit their information to the registry. In the last year, I have been involved in correcting such number scrambling on three BJ8s. As a matter of fact, there is a BJ8 now on the UK version of eBay that is claiming a VIN number that still exists on its original car in Illinois. Unless the Illinois owner stumbled onto the eBay sale, there is no way anyone would ever recognize the conflict except the model registrar.

A built-in resistor is incorporated in the distributor. 1. Fit a 1 mfd capacitor to the dynamo output terminal. Earth it to the dynamo fixing bolt. 2. Fit a 1 mfd capacitor to the SW terminal on the coil. Earth it to the coil mounting bolt. 3. Fit a 1 mfd capacitor to the petrol pump. Earth it to the pump mounting bolt. Additional suppression with Smiths model 230R 4. Fit the plug suppressors provided. Note: On some vehicles , where interference is troublesome, it may be necessary to disconnect from the coil the lead to the master switch. Alternatively this lead may be replaced by a screened lead, the screen of which should be earthed at both ends. Also the aerial is mounted as far as possible from the ignition side of the car, on the left front fender. PS. When I worked at cable TV years ago we used to have a van that drove around which detected high-resistance homemade cable splices where people tapped into the cable illegally. So solder joints properly and earth the shielding sleeves.

A few years ago I inspected HBT7L175, but I've since lost track of it and, given its condition and ownership, it might have been discarded by the grandchildren and gone to that great recycling yard in the sky. Keep in mind that the first number produced was HBT7L101 which places yours in the first 150 produced, so it could easily be the oldest surviving. Any contenders?

The privacy of this information is of vital concern to us and as such we registrars all agree to and abide by strict privacy rules and will not divulge information about individual cars without permission from the owners. It's equally important to record the numbers of scrapped cars as well as healthy ones so these cars won't "reappear" later as counterfeit cars. I should also stress that all the numbers should be recorded including batch and body numbers too since we've seen quite a few cars being sold as all original, being comprised of "bitsa" this and that from other cars. > The numbers of scrapped Hundreds and factory M's we have recorded must be carefully protected from the unscrupulous.

In the 70s I worked for Austin Healey Enterprises in Reseda, CA. We parted out wrecks, and sold parts, and rebuilt cars. Moss was just starting out and these were just funky old sports cars. I bought mine for $500.00. We would cherry pick the best parts and build a car. We had a box of vin plates. We would grab one that was right for the series and screw it to the firewall. There was no interest in fraud, because we were not building fake 100s or M cars. we were putting Healeys back on the road. Some on this list accused me of fraud and other wrong doing, when I posted my BMHT info gleaned from my engine. I exhausted all avenues to try and figure out the body #. I now have an original VIN to go with my engine and will register my car as the correct model. No fraud, just reconciling engine and body with my registration. Many of you who complained could very likely have a car we built and tagged for registration. As a side note, even DMH, did not have an issue with what we were doing. he came by the place on a number of occasions. Fred Cohen had his 100s serviced there. Donald was just so pleased that his cars were still on the road and that people wanted them fixed up to enjoy. I was there when these conversations took place.. Thanks to you who wrote with support of my efforts and to you who keep the registries and usefull web sites going.

Based on the artifacts we've found, it may be that the marketing folks didn't get around to deciding on the "3000" name until a few months after production started up. For example, I have a loose-leaf parts manual where the binder says "100-6 BN7-BT7," but the pages inside say, in the same script in the same layout, "3000 BN7-BT7" -- Since there would have been more lead time in preparing the manual covers than the pages, it looks as if the car went into production intended to be just an improved version of the 100-6. In any case, the earliest 150 or so of the BN/BT7s were badges as 100-6s, but there doesn't seem to be any consistent point of change (for example, the horn buttons on most early 3000s are actually 100-6 horn buttons, painted over on the inside to cover up the 100-6. So there you are.

Tadek, I've never had them on my big Healey, but have run the XAS on a few cars in the past and presently have them on my Bugeye Sprite. I've always been very happy with them. They are predictable, ride well and have excellent tread wear, even when autocrossed. They provide a good amount of grip and were pretty much state of the art for performance tires when they were first introduced, circa 1970. Obviusly, tire technology has increased quite a bit since then so they won't have the ultimate performance of today's tires, but I wouldn''t hesitate to put them on a road going Healey, Happy Healeying Rick Neville Follow My Nasty Boy Build: http://tinyurl.com/yj52fwo --- On Fri, 3/5/10, Tadeusz Malkiewicz wrote: From: Tadeusz Malkiewicz Subject: [Healeys] 180R15 Michelin XAS on Austin Healey - experiences?

Tadeusz, The XAS tyre is one of the original non-symmetrical tyres and the size you mention, 180R15, is no longer made. I'm not sure if its replacement 180HR15 is still done other than for the specialist trade. Be very wary of the age of the tyre if you have been offered some as it could well be some 25+ years old. Check the 4 figure number impressed a recessed panel and note the shape of the panel - an oblong, a square, a diamond or oblong with rounded ends etc. This is a date code and the shape of the surrounding panel is a decade indicator. You may find it as a 3 figure number which is a week and last year number e.g. 067 is the 6th week (early February of either 1957, 1967, 1977 1987 etc. In those days it was not a requirement to date the tyres as openly as they currently do and different manufacturing factories did different things. If it is a 4 figure number e.g. 3486 it is the 34th week (mid July ) of 1986 and if the memory is working it should be in an oblong shape with half circle rounded ends. It should be a good tyre to use on a Healey if recently made but if it older than 5 years or so I wouldn't really want it if it were to be driven on in a spirited fashion. Others may give a different cut off age and you cannot disagree with that as the storage conditions account for a lot of unseen degradation of the tyre rubber. If all you are going to do with it is 'potter around' it may be ok. If older and if it is a show car and not a driver it would useable (but perhaps not concurs). If there is any sign of cracking or dark thin lines on the sidewalls around the toe (where it meets the rim) or tread - walk away. Michelins are known for longevity and good wear but there is the trade off with grip and on this tyre that is counterbalanced a little with the asymmetrical tread pattern.

Since the slats are typically 1-1/4 inch in height, weather-stripping at each joint is important both for noise and air infiltration. They are available in insulated and non-insulated; steel, stainless steel, or aluminum; and manual push-up, chain hoist, crank operated, or electric. There are at least a dozen manufacturers of such doors.

The ratio would be 1:1.28 (or 0.72:1.0). For instance, if the gearbox output is 1,000RPM, the O/D's output would be 1,280RPM. (a 28% 'boost' in ouput). Another way of looking at it is that the O/D reduces the engine RPMs by the stated percent. (if you switch on the O/D without applying more throttle, the engine speed will decrease). bs -------------------------------- Bob Spidell - San Jose, CA The Austin-Healey overdrive ratios are 28% and 22% which are the first two numbers in the serial number shown on the plate on the overdrive unit.

Was the key getting hot before when the car was working? If so it is a bad switch. If it is working correctly then you need to check why you are getting a power feedback downstream of the switch. A quick check - open the dizzy and check that your contacts aren't fused together. Also open the Voltage Regulator and check its contacts similarly.

And that's the last I've heard; I wondered if anyone else has heard anything.

I know of the various scientific principles he talks about in the video. Seems to me there is alot to be said for the concept, I could see how it does work. If so, it could be a good interim solution to getting the US energy independent. It's no surprise that the car would sound like a diesel motor - in his system, since the combustion is so fast, fuel injection occurs at maximum compression (TDC). This means his motor will mimic the combustion cycle of a diesel motor (diesels are also designed to combust fuel at TDC). Your standard petrol motor is less efficient because it has to start burning the fuel even before it gets to TDC because combustion in a petrol motor takes time, that's why we have centrifugal advance on our distributors. With his EFI system you probably wouldn't need any advance on the distributor.

Over on the joke list someone posted a link to all the issues of Popular Science the other day. I would be willing to bet that if you name any year between say 1950 and now, I can find at least 2 stories of some marvelous new wrinkle to the automotive engine that never made it into production by any car maker. With this history, there is no reason not to be leery of the linked article. My BS is in detecting BS and there are several things in the linked article that should have any half way skeptical reader's bullshit meter beeping and flashing a red light. for example the name of company "Transonic Engineering" Wow sounds fast. "improve the efficiency of gasoline engines by more than 50 percent." OK from burning fuel you get heat and power. To get 50% more power from a unit volume of fuel, you need to produce a lot less heat. How do you burn gasoline with out heat? "The key is heating and pressurizing gasoline before injecting it into the combustion chamber, says Mike Rocke, Transonic's vice president of business development. This puts it into a supercritical state" first off why are we hearing from a VP of business development, and not an engineer? Secondly if you are running a diesel direct injection engine, you have to pressurize the fuel in order to inject it. On a normally aspirated diesel you are talking about 30-55 bar of pressure. The heating is new, but I doubt it is anything but fluff. A supercritical state? WTF is that? You will have to excuse me, but the needle on my bullshit meter just hit the pin so hard it sheared the pin off spun around twice more before it flew off hit the glass face and broke it. "The company also treats the gasoline with a catalyst that "activates" it, partially oxidizing it to enhance combustion." Oh Jesus Christ that sentence just blew my back up meter into a hundred pieces. What next? A magnet for the fuel line? (Something that was sold to car owner about 20 years ago to align the gas molecules before they went into the engine. I shit you not. Want to go on? I got $50 bucks that says no 2014 cars have this engine in them (claim in the article). Hell I will will sweeten the deal, I bet no 2015 cars have it. Any takers?

As part of the decision to add a quick rack to my MGC I Googled and came up with an article by a man called Bruce Ibbotson of Australia. It tells of all the fun he had spending a ton of money making his MGC into a real car. It is a fun article if you have any interest. In the article he makes the statement "*(MG and Austin heads are identical except for the colour, greenish for the C, black for the Austin.)*" I fist thought he was referring to the 3000, but the color of my BT7 engine was green. Also, the last Big Healeys had larger carburetors so the intake ports would have to be larger in their heads. Any help in clarification? Would my spare C head really work with my BT7? The article tells of all sorts of things to make the C better. Too bad I didn't think of shaving the flywheel when the engine was out for clutch work. I will check behind the water pump to see if the flashing that blocks the water passage is there. His was one of the first, mine is one of the last so there might not be a problem. I have never heard of the company referred to as anything but British Leyland here. Perhaps in calling it BLMC, he is taking poetic license so that he can call the company Bloody Lousy Motor Corporation. Be nice if my spare head worked for both cars.

UNIVERSITY MOTORS RESTORED John Twist Ada Michigan, USA Mar 09, 2010 07:32AM When, nearly one year ago, as the Michigan economy was collapsing and my wife Caroline's health failing, we had no option but to cease fulltime business. During the following seven months I cared for Caroline as the cancer sapped her strength, but never her will. Spending increasingly greater time with her at home, I simply could not attend to business. We sent notices to our customers thanking them for their years of support. We sent notices to our suppliers; we discharged our employees with severance; we had an auction to sell off shop equipment and MG memorabilia. Caroline died in January. As I pondered my future, I could not escape the undeniable fact: MG is my destiny. We are now re-awakening University Motors. My son, Brooks, has taken his mother Caroline's place in the office, we have two of our original mechanics back at work, and we are working to re-invigorate University Motors. We offer bench, line, and restoration services, as well as MG education via DVDs and technical seminars, on-site and off-site. Our new website will be online soon. We are not yet at speed but we are on the entrance ramp to full time business. Our old advertisements read: A lifelong dedication to the marque. That statement is as true today as it was when we first used it. Thanks to all who have supported us through this very dismal and heartrending time. We hope to be of service to you during your MG ownership.

Jack, I doubt that the heads are interchangeable. To be precise: "...the 2912cc C-series engine fitted to Austin-Healey 3000s could not be fitted to the car...Th 'new' 2912cc six-cylinder engine developed specifically for the MGC, and for the ADO61 Austin 3-litre, was shorter, alittle lighter and somewhat more compact than before - but it was still a bulky unit" - from The Mighty MGs, Graham Robson, 1982 (Pub: David and Charles) in other words it's a different engine. But he goes on to say that "the Type 29G engine wsa very similar to the ADO61 Austin 3-litre...the most knowledgeable MGC enthusiasts often by the remains of an Austin 3-litre enge [ie ADO61 engine]. The main features such as the cast iron block and head are common..." Maybe that is the source of the confusion. Early Healey engines had green heads often, but they are a LOT earlier than the MGC and definitely than the post 68 ADO61. Yes, it was called BLMC. It was BMC in the fifties then in the later sixties became British Motor Holdings whem BMC merged with Jaguar and British Leyland Motor Corporation when it merged with Leyland, subsequently it got shortened to BLMC...and was known as British Leyland or BL then it sort of evaporated [I hope that I have got that lot in the right order] Peter Dzwig Jack Feldman wrote: > > As part of the decision to add a quick rack to my MGC I Googled and came up > > with an article by a man called Bruce Ibbotson of Australia.... ...In the article he makes the statement "*(MG and Austin heads are identical > > except for the colour, greenish for the C, black for the Austin.)*" I fist > > thought he was referring to the 3000, but the color of my BT7 engine was > > green.

As part of the decision to add a quick rack to my MGC I Googled and came up with an article by a man called Bruce Ibbotson of Australia. It tells of all the fun he had spending a ton of money making his MGC into a real car. It is a fun article if you have any interest. In the article he makes the statement "*(MG and Austin heads are identical except for the colour, greenish for the C, black for the Austin.)*" I fist thought he was referring to the 3000, but the color of my BT7 engine was green. Also, the last Big Healeys had larger carburetors so the intake ports would have to be larger in their heads. Any help in clarification? Would my spare C head really work with my BT7? The article tells of all sorts of things to make the C better. Too bad I didn't think of shaving the flywheel when the engine was out for clutch work. I will check behind the water pump to see if the flashing that blocks the water passage is there. His was one of the first, mine is one of the last so there might not be a problem. I have never heard of the company referred to as anything but British Leyland here. Perhaps in calling it BLMC, he is taking poetic license so that he can call the company Bloody Lousy Motor Corporation. Be nice if my spare head worked for both cars.

I don't know how far back that data base goes, but it might provide a little bit of past history on your Healey title. If anyone tries it let us know what you find. Cheers Gary Anderson Sacramento b The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) announced today that its vehicle title history and brand information is now available to consumers through the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS). The database greatly improves the tracking of vehicles across state lines for law enforcement and motor vehicle agencies. It also allows consumers to learn about the history of a vehicle prior to making a purchase. DMV Director George Valverde said California is supportive of NMVTIS, and sees it as another valuable tool for consumer protection. "We are delighted that prospective purchasers of vehicles can now access title and brand information on the millions of updated vehicle records California provides to the NMVTIS database." California is one of 31 states now participating in NMVTIS, which was established by federal law in 1992 as a major tool to combat rampant nationwide vehicle theft and fraud. According to statistics released earlier this year, 1.3 million vehicles are stolen in the 50 states each year, with losses to consumers totaling more than $8 billion. NMVTIS records are available at http://www.vehiclehistory.gov by providing a vehicle identification number and paying a nominal fee. NMVTIS is operated on behalf of the U.S. Dept. of Justice by the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA). Several entities are required to regularly report information to NMVTIS, including: State motor vehicle agencies; Insurance carriers (including some self-insuring entities); and, auto recyclers and salvage yards. _______________________________________________ Healeys@autox.team.net Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $12.75 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums From healeys-bounces@autox.team.net Thu Mar 11 18:16:15 2010 From: I Erbs To: healey help Date: Thu, 11 Mar 2010 17:14:53 -0800 Subject: [Healeys] healey 100s in Octane magazine Great article on the Green Healey 100S in Octane Magazine. what an amazing magazine.

Hello Jack, In response to your comment; " I have never heard of the company referred to as anything but British Leyland here. Perhaps in calling it BLMC, he is taking poetic license so that he can call the company Bloody Lousy Motor Corporation." BLMC was created in 1968 by the merger of British Motor Holdings (BMH) and Leyland Motor Corporation (LMC), encouraged by Tony Benn as chairman of the Industrial Reorganisation Committee created by the Wilson Labour Government (1964-1970). At the time, LMC was a successful manufacturer, while BMH was perilously close to collapse. The Government was hopeful LMC's expertise would revive the ailing BMH. The merger combined most of the remaining independent British car manufacturing companies and included car, bus and truck manufacturers and more diverse enterprises including construction equipment, refrigerators, metal casting companies, road surface manufacturers; in all, nearly 100 different companies. The new corporation was arranged into seven divisions under its new chairman, Sir Donald Stokes (formerly the chairman of LMC.

I hope that I can still be of some help. I have re-edited it just a little so that it makes sense again. I built up a list of cars [ie cars with seeming 100/6 components but nominally at least 3000s]. It seems that there are a number of cars built around the time of the introduction of the 3000 that had 29D engines but used bits and badges from the 100/6. FWIW the earliest that I know about is Simon's and the latest candidate was shipped in August 59. See http://www.healeysix.net/BN7%20%26%20BT7.htm Interestingly all that I am aware of are left-hookers, but that may reflect the fact that most of what I know of comes from this liat and other US-oriented sources... As interesting is Country Life's dated ad 18th June that can be found at http://www.healeysix.net/periodads4.htm#WBEANCJ or the similar ad for Sports Cars Illustrated (US) for June 1959. Most listers are in the US so perhaps I should explain that Country Life is now, and was much more so in the 1950s, **the** magazine for the country set and the gentry: very much the sort of people BMC wanted to target in UK. It's not the sort of ad they would mess up on, not after the new model had been released three months earlier. The US market was crucial in earning valuable foreign currency it is surprising that they should be advertising the 100/6 there too. I find the whole thing an interesting reflection of how BMC was working at the time and therefore of British Industry as a whole. I can't offer a suggestion as to what was going on. I would like to believe in the "just using up the bits" scenario. The ads seems to suggest otherwise: ads are about building forward demand. If they were using up a lot of bits that would suggest that they had enough of them to supply at least some cars for (more than??) three months. Did BMC massively over-order or did they launch the new model earlier than previously planned? I would be delighted to hear from anyone who has one of these cars who hasn't already been in contact or from anyone who has more info. Was the original model designation to be 100/6 3-litre for example?

Most states have also destroyed their older records and have them now for only 10 or 12 years back, with some few exceptions like North Carolina (back to 1964). I wonder how the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System interacts with the Federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act that prohibits state DMVs from releasing any names or addresses of previous owners, even to the current owner of the car? Perhaps "title history" as used by NMVTIS means something different than an identification of previous owners of the car? Maybe it just tells you whether the car has been reported stolen, or damaged in a flood or fire, etc. Yes, if anyone tries it please let us know what happens. Almost all of us are interested in the past history of our cars. Because there are no other resources to allow that to be known, I try in the BJ8 registry to document as much "ownership history" on each car as can be known. Most of that has to come from the individual owners. If what they know is not recorded somewhere, it will be lost when they are gone.

I don't think the probability of this is highly likely. 2) The BJ7 registry might have a record of it. You can check with Tom Blaskovics at tomkayb@comcast.net to see what information he may have. Whatever you already know about the history of your car (i.e., from whom you bought it and when and where) should be entered into the BJ7 registry if it's not already there. It's the only place to record and preserve the knowledge you have about your car's history, and some future owner may have more luck when they ask the same question ten or fifteen years from now.

I am not sure what he has but I know he had a good left hand door with the lock opening. I picked up a pair of Lucas sealed beams from a dismatled car from him today. He is looking for a set of orginal spark plug wires. We'll see. I probably will not have my car at Conclave this year. I was finishing the wiring when I discovered British Wiring sent me a harness without the heater motor wire. After trying to get them to respond I finally contacted the guy in England that makes the harness and he sent an email telling me they don't include that wire but I could buy another harness. It made not sense to me but after a few weeks I gave up and now will have to remove the harness - I should have checked this out first but having bought harnesses from British Wiring before and having sent them a copy of the Concours specs and my Heritage Certificate I could believe they could mess it up. So, now I am on to finding an alternative. I will try a couple of others and if nothing else will contact Rhode Island and see what they have.

In earlier cars, it's a green wire with brown tracer. In the car under the dash this green/brown wire will connect to the push/pull blower switch on one side and to a solid green wire on the other side of the switch. On later harnesses, substitute green wire with yellow tracer instead of the above. I have never seen a Healey wire harness that doesn't have these wires, no matter who it comes from. I've used harnesses from AH Spares, Autofarm, Moss, and British Wiring. They are always woven in to be an integral part of the harness. I cannot explain the lack of this wire in the harness you have unless you may be reading the schematic incorrectly.

Take it out, it is pretty easy to remove, and see if you still have an overheating problem? Could be a bad thermostat, common problem. Also, have you tried the putting the temp gauge bulb in a pot of boiling water and see what it reads? You gauge could be reading too high, very common. Your BN1 should run very cool. My A90 (same engine & radiator) in Hong Kong never overheats, even in traffic, and it is hot here.

I wonder if anyone can help identify the maker on the strength of its having two square 'ridges' about 5 to 6 inches in width over each occupant's head, about 1" high at the back and faring down to flush at the front. It has an aluminum moulding like the later factory pieces, and a rubber seal. there is a hole at lowpoint over the rear pillars of the door shuts. the top has no liner, and does not appear to have ever been drilled in the aluminum trim to receive the factory hardtop style of front toggle fasteners. I wonder if anyone has a similar top, with the hardware fitted. I assume that I can adapt the presently available rear hook and plates (e.g., those available from Cape Healey), but am clueless how to hold down the front with clamp-style j-hooks of either of the later 3000 hardtop versions. What does the 'j' hook into on the 100-4 pillar? It appears that the clamp, mounted as in later hardtops, would pass the j-hook against the inside of the pillar, and the 100-4 posts do not have anything to clamp onto from that side; only the knobs on the exterior. if anyone has a photograph of a successful hardware setup i would appreciate a picture or general description. as i am going to race the car, i need to hold the top down with greater than usual clamping along the front edge. surprisingly, it appears that with a racing seat, a rollbar can be fitted inside the hardtop perimeter with the requisite 2" clearance over helmet, albeit just barely, as this top is a bit taller than other 100-4 tops i've seen.part of the clearance comes from the seat being mounted directly to the floor, and having a 12-degree angle of recline, which allows me to sit quite low. any information would be appreciated. thanks, allen miller bn2-m _______________________________________________ Healeys@autox.team.net Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $12.75 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums From healeys-bounces@autox.team.net Sat Mar 13 21:31:44 2010 From: "allen c miller jr" To: "Healey List" Date: Sat, 13 Mar 2010 23:21:52 -0500 Subject: [Healeys] 100-4 hardtop questions Hello listers I have bought a rather good used hardtop with a large plexiglas rear window.

It blocks the airflow. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen this. Take it off. Air can't flow through your radiator if you bolt on slow spinning fans that block the airflow. I once boiled a bugeye sprite at minus 5 degrees driving from Jindabyne to Thredbo at 2.00 Am in the middle of winter. Removed the fan on the outside of the radiator.... Problem solved. Never overheated again. Ask Geoff Leake. 100/4 winner in the USA v Au challenge. Boiled his car at Bathurst, yet Cool as a cucumber in a parade. Removed the fan....... Problem solved....

Otherwise, put the prescribed amount of oil in your old sump; then pour it into your engine and check the dipstick. And remember that US litres aren't Imperial litres.

It was accompanied by a note stating that careful removal of 1/4" of material is needed on the bottom of the oil pump pick up tube, as the thickness of the bottom of the pan comes closer to the pick up. They state the screen will be almost on the bottom and this clearance will ensure adequate oil flow clearance. I was not impressed by having to mess around with this. Therefore it would seem that the bottom inside surface of the alloy sump is marginally shallower than stock.

Take two small springs (I got mine out of a couple of pens) and insert them where the choke cables attach to the carb (one spring for each choke cable)...in a manner that the cables push against the carb choke levers. These springs will ensure that when you push the choke know in, the cables push away from the lever on the carb....works like a charm. Hard to describe but, once you look at the carb set-up, you'll see what I'm saying.

I noticed that when you push the choke knob back in the choke plates stay in the choked position. The only springs I see are the two on the sides of the carbs and these are obviously not returning the plates to the non- choked position. Are there supposed to be more springs or am I missing something else? Thanks for your help. 62' BJ7 61' Bugeye 69' Midget Frank R.

The overall outside dimensions are similar however as you have noticed, the casting is about 1/2" thick resulting in a shallower inside depth of the pan. I had to shorten the thickness of the oil strainer as well to get the new pan to fit. I agree that the oil level seemed to come up too high when I refilled the crankcase with my usual amount of oil. It was suggested that overfilling would not cause a great problem as the extra oil would just leak out. This does not inspire great confidence.

The only springs I see are the two on the sides of the carbs and these are obviously not returning the plates to the non- choked position.

I had to confront this problem and my solution seems to work. Caveat:-one can buy these fittings, below, in the UK and, I'm pretty sure, in the rest of Europe, BUT I don't know about anywhere else. Find a helpful plumbing supply shop and ask about bits.....& then:- 1) Make a hole in the backplate of the rearmost filter. Hole to allow a 22mm pipe. 2) Take a 22mm compression joint of the type that one would use, for example, to put a 22mm supply into a cold water tank. 3) Using the joint, above, put a, say, 2 inch length of 22mm copper pipe into the back of the filter with as little as possible on the inside. (I ground my pipe and joint down on the inside with a grinder). 4) The section of pipe that sticks out of the filter can be inserted into the regular rubber pipe coming over from the T on top of the engine and then tightened up with a Jubilee type clip. Attached shows the visible part of the joint which, in my opinion, is acceptable although it won't win any prizes. (For interest's sake: The steel fuel pipe feeds between the carbs looked very smart - I thought - but it was nbg and had to go).

However, we've observed a few original exceptions here. Some of the early 2 piece dashes had the separate instrument pod painted Healey Blue, though most were silver. A few later BN1's with single piece dash pressing seemed to be painted all black. An example here is John Wheatley's very original BN1, though that's the only one I've ever personally seen. I believe his was built about May of '54. As for formulas for the dark blue and the silver, I'll quote from my painter's notes: " The blue colour is a Mercedes blue "paint code 904". It is Sherwin Williams basecoat U7-39121 standard formula. The silver we have been using is from PPG's Global paint line. It is not a formula but the mixing toner BC769 extra fine silver. The Sherwin Williams equivalent should be toner # U7006. This is the same silver (metallic) that we use in the Healey Blue formula. There shouldn't be a compatibility problem using Sherwin Williams clear on top of the PPG silver. I have used it many times with success. The same goes for using Sherwin Williams blue and PPG's silver on the same dash."

We figured he had air in the lines, so stopped at a NAPA store for some silicone fluid and tubing. With Mr. Finespanner's extension on George's slave cylinder, it was a simple 5-minute job to bleed the clutch and then all was well -- no crawling under the car to try to access the slave cylinder, no tedious pumping of the brake pedal. Note: I cannot install the extension in my BJ8 because I have the earlier style spin-on oil filter adapter that holds the filter in the same orientation as the original canister. This interferes with the extension.

It has been our practice to make sure quality paint is well applied to all mating surfaces and then to install the beading with nothing else there. We feel strongly that if any other sort of tape, packing or sealant is applied here it will only act as an efficient moisture trap. If the metals cannot actually touch each other, and oxygen cannot reach the metal they cannot corrode. Moisture that enters into the area can air dry. Keep in mind, other than the token poor primers they had on the individual panels prior to assembly, they originally had nothing else in the seam, therefore there was virtual metal to metal contact and corrosion was free to take place.

This arrangement is a galvanic cell, and in the days when the cars were just cars and lived outside and in the rain most of the time, corrosion was promoted that dissolved the aluminum flanges. Most Healeys see a much more benign environment today, but can still corrode if exposes to enough moisture. I just used a good coat of anti-corrosion primer (called "Corroless" then, but Eastwood has something similar called "Rust Encapsulator") on all the flanges before I reassembled the parts. Since then (the late '80s) I have had only one rear fender off the car about 13 years later and there was no corrosion of the flanges. A good coating of a good paint should be all you need.

SEE info@schmitt.com History of the Austin Healey factory is that the factory was closed down for retooling for the new most popular MODEL 3000 (6 cylinder). Most of the workers were layed off for the factory change over, so a number of the workers took the new 6 cylinder engines tooled them into the old MODEL 104 BODY. I don't see a 104 body!!!! So you have a few of the special built cars with 6 cylinder engines in the earlier 4 cylinder body. What 4 cylinder body?????? Estimated of less than 500 of these beauties are on the road today. Most of the Austin Healey are the MODEL# 3000. We keep a book of pictures for the rebuilding of the car from the frame up, Included are recipes and pictures of the work. Recipes???? I am not much of a cook so I had rather see the receipts. The engine was rebuilt with new pistons and rings, compression is as new. Less than 500 new miles on the rebuilt. (1997) A 13 year old rebuilt?????? It will need a lot of attention to the fuel and brake system I suspect. The car was keep in Arizona until I moved to Maryland in 2005, it has 0% rust including the ROCKER panels. The car has the dash and frame and are changeable to a RIGHT handed steering. As are ALL the big Healeys?????? This is a prize. As someone has alluded to If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck . . . . . .

That will surely push more oil out of the places it normailly leaks. What exactly is getting filtered ? I would run the hose into a little catchtank (e.g., a little plastic juice bottle) mounted over by the master cylinders. If your rockers are not worn - no oil. If they are badly worn, the oil will go into the catch tank. If there is any oil then that little K&N filter will get plugged up and there will be even more crankcase pressure.

The deal was I would test the fit and round up some buyers--had a dozen or more people from this list--and he would do a production run. I wasn't looking to profit--just wanted a set for myself.

I found the original color under a couple of later coats of paint. It was a match to the body color. The first time I mentioned it here there was speculation that at the time the factory was experimenting with color schemes. I like it that way. It extends the body color into the cockpit and makes it seem a little bit more dated and primitive. It would probably be a lot more expensive on an assembly line. If you were to do it to every car the dash would have to be special to the car. If they were all the same you could just pull from a stack of identical parts on the line. I think the black and silver, and the single piece dash, was probably standardized as a cost saving move. Again, this was non-metallic paint, which was a little less common than the metallic Healey Blue.

I think he was big into racing Sprites. He was a friend of Bob Bender, former president of that part of the AHCA, who I bought my car from. I can't remember his name but I think he got them from a guy in Australia that had made up a number of these cast aluminum housings, that took a conical K&N. They have an air horn cast into the section that mounts to the carb and are really nice. Both aluminum parts were painted gray. I had never and have never since seen a set like that so I bought a set for $200, which was a LOT for me at the time. I don't think K&N ever made anything like this for the Healey and even when I bought them I questioned if I could ever find a replacement filter should I need one. Somewhere (no idea where) I have the part number for the filter, but it won't do anyone any good without the aluminum castings.

I have been in touch with K&N and they identify Part number 56-9247 as the most appropriate for a 3000 with two carbs. http://www.knfilters.com/search/product.aspx?Prod=56-9247 It is a classic pancake filter with a diameter of 6" and a depth of 2". A bit bigger than the 59-9320 but then we have almost double the displacement of an MGB. The backing plates are blank and have to be opened up to match the HD6 or 8 carbs. That gives the opportunity to offset the rear one lower to clear the shroud. As for the breather hole, my vote is don't bother. Fit a PCV valve as detailed in Norman's Tech Talk. A superb and discrete mod that completely eliminates the oil leaks caused by crankcase pressure. I fitted the air filters and PCV to my BJ8 and will be doing the same again to my modified BN4 which will soon be fitted with a slightly breathed on 3000 engine. DWR cam, gas flowed head, HD8's.

Not sure how to fit one to the rear tri-carb manifold. Anyone do it? The original Coopers filters fitted to the tri-carb are roughly 5" in diameter for about 20 square inches. If I got the correct equation (new word for the day: frustum of cone) from of my copy of Machinery Handbook, the K&N 59-9320 filter has an area of around 25 square inches. Ought to be adequate, but I don't have a flow bench to confirm. The dual carb setups have a larger air filters, so I would think/agree that a filter larger than the 59-9320 would be required.

I had bought a couple (from Moss?) some time ago thinking I would back date the 80 MGB to twin SU carbs. Bought the third from K&N via ebay for $57. These have a stamped steel housings. K&N lists this filter for the HIF4 carb and don't have any listings for the HS4. If anyone near Riverside, CA has these fitted to a tri-carb, it might be nice to stop by K&N and show them. I'll probably send them an email/photo. To Chris' email: I did check with APT about fitting air horns, but they didn't think there was enough room with the conical filter to be effective. I remember someone telling me about the Australian aluminum housings at the car show at Conclave last year. Will have to see if I can remember who told me.

Ooops! let me try that again. I was assuming HS6s on the tri-carb, but they are only 1.5 inch carbs.

It appears to me that this could in fact be legitimate, as that is the proper casting number for the 12 port head, right? Seems the guy just really isn't much of a computer guy/ car guy or all that good at communication. If someone makes the effort to go see it, it could be interesting.

Sure, there are policies and procedures some folks might quibble about, but all in all things go pretty smoothly. Take, for example, unsubscribing. The Mailman list manager makes it fairly obvious. Each message from the list has RFC2369 headers, which most modern, intelligent mailers can present to the user. These headers include lines such as List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Such info can be helpful to some, but is usually not displayed by default, so that can be a bit daunting to those who have a fear of technology or some such. One thing that each and every list message includes are those lines down at the bottom that most of you ignore. Like the one that I recently modified to make as obvious as possible: Unsubscribe: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/you@your.domain Click on that, then click the resulting unsubscribe box, and there you go. Plus on the morning of the 4th of every month Mailman sends out a subscription reminder message which includes a link to the unsubscribe page. So easy a caveman can do it, right? Well, I get this message which reads, in part: This is my 15th request. Please remove me from HealeysMail List. Do any of you have any suggestions as to how I can make it any easier for people like this to be able to manage their own subscriptions?
