I agree with Jim. The Hemphill's Phoenix SS header (from AH Spares) will accomodate a standard tri-carb setup with stock heat shield. It's a bit pricey, but the best-fitting header I've put on a Hea

I recommend you talk to Gabe at Highland Automotive, (845) 691-2265. He's across the river from Poughkeepsie and has been doing body and paint work on Healeys since the early 70's. Doug Reid, 18G Mo

I must agree--any reputable professional mechanic should have road tested your car after the brake work was done and cured any squeal problems before turning the car over to you. A mechanic at all f

You can also make your own oil-feed pedestal by drilling and tapping a blank one if you have decent machining skills. The 1/8 BSPP tap is available from McMaster-Carr for $15.77. I did this for a cu

Pull off the rubber boot and the plastic cover on top of the solenoid so you can see the points. Check the hair-fine wire where it solders to its terminal beside the points. A break there can lead t

Brake lines can be formed by hand as long as you are careful not to kink the tubing in the process. A bending tool comes in handy when making tight curves, 3" or less. Compound curves, however, can

Anti-seize is definitely the way to go. In addition to the fitting threads, I like to put a little on the end of the line between the pipe and the nut, so the fitting can't ever rust onto the pipe.

I agree, if your failure is instant with no sputtering the problem is more likely electrical than poor fuel delivery. One thing to check would be the battery master switch in the trunk. These switch
