Hello,
 also can use Chebbie(Chevy) intake valves, not    sure if 2.02 or
1.94.....ain't takin' the head of til' i find where i put the  frickin'
timing cover oooooh, 20 yrs. ago or so.
more timing info later.............from hand scribbled early '60 notes in
the original owner's service manual..................DAMN! i been lookin'
for Healey stuff and forgot it WAS Friday!!
                                                  HoYo
p.s. an early Ford Falcon radiator fan also fits or was used after the
original decided to 'jettison' at the races in Opelousas,La  circa
'62..............HoHoHoYo
