Y - thanks for your wisdom, and Sheesh? as always.
 I actually do have the same remarks directly from Clausager about the "1" vs
the "I".

The only thing I can say is that there appears to be more Longbridge BN4 2
portheads out there with the "I" rather than the "1" on the engine plate.

but again so much for Healey trivia - jim lesher
