Re: [Healeys] carb damper

[Bob Haskell <rchaskell@earthlink.net>]

No specification tags on the carbs? Burlen/SU Carb's website gives AUC 
429T (H2) for the TB and TC, with damper.

Mike Harvey's book, "Skinner Union" states that the hydraulic damper was 
introduced in 1938.  The dashpot suction pistons prior to that had solid 
guide rod.  They were made of zinc alloy Mazak from 19218 to 1939 and 
brass from 1925 to 1948.
