Hence what could be your issue. Tell me, is the notch/ cutout for the low tension lead at the front or rear of the cap? The cap with a part number ending in 474 has the cutout at the front, under the coil lead, and is Bj8. The cap with the part number ending in 902 has the cutout at the back, and is sedan.

Make note of the orientation. If you look in the factory workshop manual, it tells you how to set the dog into the "22" position, to orient the dizzy correctly. There's actually a picture of what the dog position should look like.

I just wanted to go back to the original position, and I wanted to know what point on the cap was originally selected to be number one.I examined a number of photos and came up with the drawing I attached to my earlier email- number one and five were either side of the coil port.

I removed the right angle drive, and it was definitely the problem. The drive spindle was broken clean off. Incidentally, no sign of the magic washer. So I got a new drive (w/ washer) from our friends in Goleta and tried to install. It barely goes in the hole. Enough to engage the drive spindle, but just barely. Not far enough to even begin to screw on the knurled nut. Any ideas? The protrusion of the new spindle looks the same as the old one, so maybe something is blocking internally in the gearbox fixture. There are some flats on this fixture, so I could try removing it, but does that open a barrel of snakes? Can it be R&R'ed easily? I don't want to compound the problem.

With my angle drive, when I first pulled it out and I spun the drive end, the cable end also turned...it was only after I stuck something in the cable end did I discover that the drive end still turned and that something inside had sheared.

Pistons #1 and #6 are both reaching TDC together but if #1 is on the compression stroke (both valves closed) then the exhaust valve (#12 from front to back) for #6 cylinder should be open (exhaust stroke).? Actually, it is open and should be just starting to close.? The #6 cylinder intake valve (#11) is closed and just starting to open). ?No spark:Make sure the white/black wire is connected to the distributor and the + side of the coil (if positive ground) and the white wire to the other side of the coil.Check the small flexible wire under the distributor cap to be sure it isn't broken or loose at its terminals.Did you have the ignition switch on for a significant length of time without starting the engine?? If so, the coil can overheat and be damaged and/or the points may burn. Bad condenserBad rotorAre the points adjusted correctly?

I removed the right angle drive, and it was definitely the problem. The drive spindle was broken clean off. Incidentally, no sign of the magic washer. So I got a new drive (w/ washer) from our friends in Goleta and tried to install. It barely goes in the hole. Enough to engage the drive spindle, but just barely. Not far enough to even begin to screw on the knurled nut. Any ideas? The protrusion of the new spindle looks the same as the old one, so maybe something is blocking internally in the gearbox fixture. There are some flats on this fixture, so I could try removing it, but does that open a barrel of snakes? Can it be R&R'ed easily? I don't want to compound the problem.

Twice. The first time it happened it was not coming loose no matter how hard I pulled on the release. And not sure why I thought of it, but I took a plastic tool I had for inserting the rubber tubing for repairing screen doors and ran it in between the rear of the bonnet and the front of the cowell. (SP?) Anyway, this pushed the bonnet forward enough and the bonnet popped right up. It seems I may have bent or slipped the catch mechanism on the bonnet as I was trying to adjust it to hold the bonnet a bit tighter and lower. Moved things around and tried again and sure enough it wouldn't open. Tried the plastic roller tool again and it worked again. Next adjustment went the opposite direction and the bonnet opened and closed with no problems. And I never had the problem again, but I carry the plastic tool on my parcel shelf just in case. It's been a few years now and I always hold my breath when opening the engine compartment. Knock wood. If that hadn't worked, I have no idea what I would have done other than trying to go up from under he car with a series of mirrors and magic tricks.

LJK Setright was personally the most flamboyant of English automotive writers, and substantively the most colorful. But most accurate, and most objective. Not even close. I once asked Phil Llewelin and Karl Ludvigsen separately what they thought of him, since I had just finished Setright's <> which I had enjoyed. Both in different words said basically that he was excellent to read for entertainment, but never, ever quote him because he was wrong as much as he was right, shifting facts to support his (often very biased) opinions. Fortunately, Graham Robson and Mike Cook got in this year, and there are some good choices for future years' selections. G.

I removed the right angle drive, and it was definitely the problem. The drive spindle was broken clean off. Incidentally, no sign of the magic washer. So I got a new drive (w/ washer) from our friends in Goleta and tried to install. It barely goes in the hole. Enough to engage the drive spindle, but just barely. Not far enough to even begin to screw on the knurled nut. Any ideas? The protrusion of the new spindle looks the same as the old one, so maybe something is blocking internally in the gearbox fixture. There are some flats on this fixture, so I could try removing it, but does that open a barrel of snakes? Can it be R&R'ed easily? I don't want to compound the problem.

The two pins inside the 3-4 hub and one in the 1-2 hub appear to be added to stop the hubs vibrating backwards and pressing on the opposite baulk ring when a gear is engaged since there is nothing to prevent this on the earlier boxes. What confuses me is that they don't actually do that in the BJ8 box because the grooves machined into the mainshaft are too wide and allow the hub to move all the way over and touch the opposing baulk ring anyway. The reason I ask is that I'm part way through assembling a hybrid BJ8 gearbox with a straight cut gear set that uses some features of the earlier box and some of the later type. It has individual needle rollers in the first motion shaft instead of the caged bearing but also has the larger lay shaft and caged bearings. The issue is that we have to use an earlier mainshaft to match the first motion shaft internal needle bearings but then the pins mentioned above don't have the necessary grooves to engage into. Pics attached are of one of the pins in question, and the grooves machined into the BJ8 mainshaft. It appears that the pin is pressed inwards by a ramp machined into the engagement collar as the gear is engaged and it goes down into the groove on the mainshaft- which in theory locks the hub from wandering back to the opposite side. Questions: Should I ignore the pins as unnecessary? Should I machine the mainshaft to allow the pins to operate as (I believe) they should work? Should I machine the mainshaft so the pins work as they did in the BJ8 box, i.e. not at all? Cheers, Andy. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I'm well aware of the modification Austin used on the BJ8 gearbox and have even modified earlier gearbox parts to the BJ8 pattern,Yes the concept is to prevent the synco from the gear you are changing from carrying the load to the gear you are changing to which is a design fault in the earlier gearboxes. The pins are supposed to prevent the hub from pressing it backwards, but I have never checked if they actually do their job. You obviously have an inquiring mind, well done. lets see who can add to the discussion.

I am not sure where #6 is. Is the exhaust valve just opening & intake valve just closing = beginning the exhaust stroke or is the intake valve just opening & the exhaust valve just closing = intake stroke. Personally, I would remove the #1 plug & verify that when both valves are closed (end of compression & beginning of power stroke) that the rotor is lined up with the #1 terminal in the cap & that the timing mark indicates TDC. What type of plug wires are you using? If carbon core, they are not suitable for use with the original style dist. cap. which could explain why you have a spark at one plug & not in at another plug. The small pointed screws that retain the wires in the cap do not make reliable contact in carbon core wires. Use copper core wires. I think you indicated that you are using points. Make sure the points spring & ground wire are correctly installed with the correct spacers/insulators. See a shop manual for details.

He has an early Phase 2 BJ8 ie with the single light setup front and rear and the 8-way flasher relay box. Car is LHDrive. The car's wiring loom looks to be new and in excellent condition; it looks like it has been competently installed with all clips and grommets where one would hope to find them. The individual wires are emphatically not old & crumbly ie flakey insulation. The car starts and runs well. It feels strong and is well behaved ie it coped with appalling traffic on a very hot day when we drove it out to Chantilly. It started first time when the engine was hot. In fact, the engine didn't get hot; I reckon it has a recored(?) radiator. Certainly it has the 6-blade fan offered, I think, by the factory (like a 6 blade version of the normal 4. Something we don't usually see or need in the UK). First email:- "It was very hot today and something weird happened: a bit of smoke came out from just above my knees (just below the dashboard along the steering wheel pole). the smoke was white and little (about as much as a match would make when it goes off, but white). Then a funny noise went on for 5 seconds (like a motor, a bit like the starter motor we can hear at the end when the engine doesn't want to start (do you see what I mean?). Anyway after that incident everything went back to normal: -all the lights (turning indicators, panel lights, all the instruments...) seem to work. I have no idea what happened and I have not found anything not working!" A few days later, the second email:- "Everything electrically seems to work. Except that when I push on the brake pedal nothing lights up at the back. Shouldn't it?" This is the Paris car, my being back in the UK with the previous issues cured. Now:- I am presuming that the two issues are related..the smoke and the lack of brake lights. I am discounting the heat reference. I am puzzled by there being no brakes related wiring under the dash yet that's where the smoke came from. The "funny noise" has me stumped. The only place where braking circuitry and lighting circuitry meets is in the 8-way flasher box. (Barring bare wires shorting out). I am going over to Paris in about a month's time in order to help get the car down to Roscoff and thence by ferry over to Plymouth in the UK and up to my house. I will then have it for a few weeks and will do various things to it..seatbelts being item one. So, I (we) would like to make the longish journey with brake lights and without smoke. I have, I think, all the tools I need in Paris but I would welcome ideas.... Has anyone had this happen to their car? What is the likely connection between the two seemingly irreconcilables. (Smoke under the dash yet brake lights only are affected). Can anything to do with the brake light switch lead to smoke under the dash? I can't see how, myself. I just want to be slightly prepared when I get there. I won't have much time...certainly not enough to get replacement parts over to Paris from the UK. Any thoughts?

Normally this switch is located somewhere under the dynamo. What was the smoke coming from? Well, the heater box is located under the dash. Could be leaking. You say the engine didn't get hot. It might be that it actually got very hot because the coolant had leaked out. If the level of the coolant is very low, e.g. under the sensor you will not see how hot it is on the instruments. The sensor is located in the cylinder head, just under the thermostat. The engine will boil though, did it do that?

Just in case we all start chasing a red herring:- it?s not overheating; the radiator is up to a correct level and stays there. No boiling, all well on the temperature front. No water coming out of heater box. I?m thinking it?s more electrics than heat related. Simon From: Per Schoerner [mailto:per at schoerner.se] Sent: 08 June 2017 18:53 To: Simon Lachlan Cc: Healey List Subject: Re: [Healeys] Smoke and brakes Simon When you switch on the ignition you feed the brake switch with current. Normally this switch is located somewhere under the dynamo. What was the smoke coming from? Well, the heater box is located under the dash. Could be leaking. You say the engine didn't get hot. It might be that it actually got very hot because the coolant had leaked out. If the level of the coolant is very low, e.g. under the sensor you will not see how hot it is on the instruments. The sensor is located in the cylinder head, just under the thermostat. The engine will boil though, did it do that? Per Skickat fr?n min iPhone 8 juni 2017 kl. 17:30 skrev Simon Lachlan : I have received 2 emails from my nephew. He has an early Phase 2 BJ8 ie with the single light setup front and rear and the 8-way flasher relay box. Car is LHDrive. The car?s wiring loom looks to be new and in excellent condition; it looks like it has been competently installed with all clips and grommets where one would hope to find them. The individual wires are emphatically not old & crumbly ie flakey insulation. The car starts and runs well. It feels strong and is well behaved ie it coped with appalling traffic on a very hot day when we drove it out to Chantilly. It started first time when the engine was hot. In fact, the engine didn?t get hot; I reckon it has a recored(?) radiator. Certainly it has the 6-blade fan offered, I think, by the factory (like a 6 blade version of the normal 4. Something we don?t usually see or need in the UK). First email:- ?It was very hot today and something weird happened: a bit of smoke came out from just above my knees (just below the dashboard along the steering wheel pole). the smoke was white and little (about as much as a match would make when it goes off, but white). Then a funny noise went on for 5 seconds (like a motor, a bit like the starter motor we can hear at the end when the engine doesn't want to start (do you see what I mean?). Anyway after that incident everything went back to normal: -all the lights (turning indicators, panel lights, all the instruments...) seem to work. I have no idea what happened and I have not found anything not working!? A few days later, the second email:- ?Everything electrically seems to work. Except that when I push on the brake pedal nothing lights up at the back. Shouldn't it?? This is the Paris car, my being back in the UK with the previous issues cured. Now:- I am presuming that the two issues are related?.the smoke and the lack of brake lights. I am discounting the heat reference. I am puzzled by there being no brakes related wiring under the dash yet that?s where the smoke came from. The ?funny noise? has me stumped. The only place where braking circuitry and lighting circuitry meets is in the 8-way flasher box. (Barring bare wires shorting out). I am going over to Paris in about a month?s time in order to help get the car down to Roscoff and thence by ferry over to Plymouth in the UK and up to my house. I will then have it for a few weeks and will do various things to it??seatbelts being item one. So, I (we) would like to make the longish journey with brake lights and without smoke. I have, I think, all the tools I need in Paris but I would welcome ideas??.. Has anyone had this happen to their car? What is the likely connection between the two seemingly irreconcilables. (Smoke under the dash yet brake lights only are affected). Can anything to do with the brake light switch lead to smoke under the dash? I can?t see how, myself. I just want to be slightly prepared when I get there. I won?t have much time?..certainly not enough to get replacement parts over to Paris from the UK. Any thoughts?

I ground a couple of grooves in the shaft below 3-4 hub and they now work as intended. 2nd gear I figured wouldn't be an issue since 1st is only used briefly at low speed and it allows me to use an earlier style collar/gear which is in near new condition. Got the gearbox assembled yesterday, found that the lay gear very slightly knocked against 1st gear teeth in neutral when standing it on the rear face so took it all apart again, reduced the width of the lay gear teeth by about 1mm and reassembled. Even got to the stage of lockwiring the shift fork screws and then discovered that the wider straight cut lay gear 3rd prevents the 3rd gear engagement collar moving fully into position. So it has to come apart again today... This is a used set of gears in the same case they came out of so lord knows how the previous owner made them work. 3rd lay gear is about 2mm wider than the corresponding mainshaft gear on that side so if I can't find any other way around this it will be getting strategic weight reduction operations performed. Anyone else had issues with straight cut gears being considerably wider than the stock helical ones and clashing with other parts? Andy.

While trying out Mike Salter's method for checking the static timing, I thought I'd re-wire the cap and move the distributor around so that it would be oriented the way I see most BJ8's set up- with the vacuum advance between the oil filter and the block. When I put everything back together, it wouldn't start and I seemed to have no spark.This is where I began to make mistakes...Rich Chrysler used to say to me "don't over think these things, Steve!" Guess I'm still over thinking. I made myself an acetate template of the distributor cap points so that I could see exactly which point the rotor was approaching, because I knew by now that I had a timing problem. This was my second mistake. The point that was about to fire was not the one I thought was about to fire, so I spent some wasted time getting it out by one point...with the width of the rotor point, it was a little confusing.Anyway, I'm back to my old configuration, firing on all six, and feeling slightly stupid. I could have kept this all to myself, but who knows, it may help some other befuddled home mechanic who gets too close to the problem.

You need a piece of tubing going from the bleed valve into a jar in the passenger footwell, and a ring wrench over the valve, and everything's within reach.It's a bit ticklish getting the tubing in place, but once it's set up, it's really very easy.

While trying out Mike Salter's method for checking the static timing, I thought I'd re-wire the cap and move the distributor around so that it would be oriented the way I see most BJ8's set up- with the vacuum advance between the oil filter and the block. When I put everything back together, it wouldn't start and I seemed to have no spark.This is where I began to make mistakes...Rich Chrysler used to say to me "don't over think these things, Steve!" Guess I'm still over thinking. I made myself an acetate template of the distributor cap points so that I could see exactly which point the rotor was approaching, because I knew by now that I had a timing problem. This was my second mistake. The point that was about to fire was not the one I thought was about to fire, so I spent some wasted time getting it out by one point...with the width of the rotor point, it was a little confusing.Anyway, I'm back to my old configuration, firing on all six, and feeling slightly stupid. I could have kept this all to myself, but who knows, it may help some other befuddled home mechanic who gets too close to the problem.

Whether that has an effect on the charging rate I don?t know. It?s not just the generator pulley that?s different as I have recently found out that the water pump pulley in the early six-cylinder engines is larger. I fitted a new water pump to the BN3 only to find that when fitting the standard fan belt it was too long and the generator was hitting the steering column. With a 2 ? centimetre shorter belt it fits perfectly.

All this information is based on Healey 3000 29D series engine built in approximately October 1960. The Mk2 engines were 29E series but as long as your car was equipped with a Lucas C45 Dynamo the information should be the same for both engines. Driving pulley diameter (crankshaft) is 157mm. Driven pulley diameter (Dynamo) is 99mm. Speed of driven pulley = Engine RPM x 157 / 99. If the engine RPM is 2500 then the Dynamo RPM is 3,965 With the 110mm driven pulley if the engine RPM is 2500 then the Dynamo RPM is 3,568. The Dynamo will be 10% slower with the 110mm pulley but I suspect the real issue is the Dynamo output at low engine RPM's. I don't have any information on the size of the crankshaft pulley on the 100/6 but if it was the same 157mm pulley used on the 29D series and later engines then the switch to the smaller 99mm pulley was to improve the output of the Dynamo at low engine speeds. The only adverse effect will likely be your headlights will be dimmer at low engine RPM.

On cotton there is hardly any need to wash the filters, the intervals can be more than 50.000mls. On foam look for the manufacturers recommendations when to wash the filters.

When I got my car years ago, the fuel line was cut off near the carbs-i.e., no fitting. At the time, a rubber hose was simple attached with a standard hose clamp. Last time I had the engine out in 2004-2005, I fabricated a steel fuel line, used a compression fitting to attach it to the end of the vertical line, and installed a glass bowl filter. I was pretty happy with my pipe bending prowess for an amateur. (See the attached photo. And yes, I know I have a fuel line and glass bowl sitting ahead of the engine mass, a clear fire danger in a collision. But it is aft of the steering box, so I figure I may burn up after I've been impaled by the steering column.) Anyway, the Moss BN7 fuel line at the time was a 5/16 standard flare, and that was later replaced after around 5 years with another 5/16 standard flare braided steel line, this one with black and red tracers. The trouble now is that the BN7 flex lines I got from both AH Spares and Moss have a different nipple inside the female connector; it's not a conical flair, and while it seems to go on the fuel rail, albeit with some difficulty, it won't fit on the 5/16 flare connection from the filter. I don't know what happened to the old flare style hose, but right now I'm stuck using a 5 year old fuel line.

When I got my car years ago, the fuel line was cut off near the carbs-i.e., no fitting. At the time, a rubber hose was simple attached with a standard hose clamp. Last time I had the engine out in 2004-2005, I fabricated a steel fuel line, used a compression fitting to attach it to the end of the vertical line, and installed a glass bowl filter. I was pretty happy with my pipe bending prowess for an amateur. (See the attached photo. And yes, I know I have a fuel line and glass bowl sitting ahead of the engine mass, a clear fire danger in a collision. But it is aft of the steering box, so I figure I may burn up after I've been impaled by the steering column.) Anyway, the Moss BN7 fuel line at the time was a 5/16 standard flare, and that was later replaced after around 5 years with another 5/16 standard flare braided steel line, this one with black and red tracers. The trouble now is that the BN7 flex lines I got from both AH Spares and Moss have a different nipple inside the female connector; it's not a conical flair, and while it seems to go on the fuel rail, albeit with some difficulty, it won't fit on the 5/16 flare connection from the filter. I don't know what happened to the old flare style hose, but right now I'm stuck using a 5 year old fuel line. I'm investigating custom hose manufacturers, but I wonder if anyone on the list has a source for the braided lines with the black and red tracers, or any 5/16 flair braided fuel line. Thanks.

The problem I posted on Sunday, was that after spending some time adjusting the static timing (had the distributor out) I couldn't start the car, and seemed to have no spark at the plugs. I went to some trouble setting up the distributor in the orientation that seems to be the most common, with the wires in the cap to match. There is spark at the points, and a healthy spark from the coil right out to the carbon brush. After I put it all back together again, it wouldn't start. I was running out of time, but I checked two wires- no spark at 6, but a spark at 3. I'll get back to this tonight, but when I try to start the car, I would swear that I had the timing out by 180 degrees...only I've checked and re-checked that the valves of number 6 are just closing and opening when I have the timing marks lined up, and the rotor is at number one...and there's no loud bang that you usually get when it's 180 out. The obvious culprit now is the cap, but it's odd to have absolutely no sign of firing at all when I attempt to start the car, I mean to go from working fine to absolute failure. Wish me luck.

If you buy the model Moss sells, all you have to do is attach the red wire to ground and the black wire to the hot connection point. Works like a charm. You may also want to use a rubber buffer between the pump and the car body or frame. That will help isolate the rattle that happens when the pump is working.

I rebuilt three steering boxes this way for BN-1/BN-2s. The pinion shaft has two bearing diameters and the aluminum case is the female bearing for both diameters. The top of the case is bored to the larger diameter and the lower portion is the smaller diameter. There is side load on the shaft so the case tends to wear egg shaped. A lot of the slop in your steering box is wear in the case. Drop your shaft into the case and see if there is any play. I am going to describe the process in general terms because I did this some time ago and don't remember exact dimensions but it was easy to figure out what was needed. I have access to a milling machine but it is a fairly simple machine shop job so you should be able to find a shop near you who can do the work.?? In the McMaster Carr catalog they have bronze bushings. They come in various inside diameters and wall thickness and outside diameters. Pick two that fit the two inside diameters needed to fit the shaft, then select a wall thickness that will give you a constant outside diameter. Next comes the machine work. I can't find a picture of this, sorry. The case is put on the mill using the top machined surface as datum ( Top down, snout up ) and the shaft center is indicated. Then the case is bored to an interference fit to the OD of the bronze bushings. While you have this setup make the bore for the lip seal about 3/16th deeper so the lip seal rides on a clean part of the shaft and you can use a two lip seal stack. Then the bushings are pressed in and viola your case is better than when it left the factory. I think you can still get new pin followers and the pin to worm clearance is adjustable so you can split the difference between loose in the center and tight on full lock.?? This probably sounds more complicated than it really is. A good machinist will totally get it. You can message me for a phone number if you or your machinist want to talk.

This will correct both the wear in the housing and the wear on the shaft at the same time. Andy. On 6/19/17, Ray Juncal wrote: > Bill I rebuilt three steering boxes this way for BN-1/BN-2s.

In my research, I came to find that the steering box in the early post war A40 sedan is not the same as the BN1 box. Nonetheless, the basic principal is the same and overhauling one of these boxes is essentially the same, So, thanks to all who offered insights into this matter.

If you buy the model Moss sells, all you have to do is attach the red wire to ground and the black wire to the hot connection point. Works like a charm. You may also want to use a rubber buffer between the pump and the car body or frame. That will help isolate the rattle that happens when the pump is working.

I rebuilt three steering boxes this way for BN-1/BN-2s. The pinion shaft has two bearing diameters and the aluminum case is the female bearing for both diameters. The top of the case is bored to the larger diameter and the lower portion is the smaller diameter. There is side load on the shaft so the case tends to wear egg shaped. A lot of the slop in your steering box is wear in the case. Drop your shaft into the case and see if there is any play. I am going to describe the process in general terms because I did this some time ago and don't remember exact dimensions but it was easy to figure out what was needed. I have access to a milling machine but it is a fairly simple machine shop job so you should be able to find a shop near you who can do the work.?? In the McMaster Carr catalog they have bronze bushings. They come in various inside diameters and wall thickness and outside diameters. Pick two that fit the two inside diameters needed to fit the shaft, then select a wall thickness that will give you a constant outside diameter. Next comes the machine work. I can't find a picture of this, sorry. The case is put on the mill using the top machined surface as datum ( Top down, snout up ) and the shaft center is indicated. Then the case is bored to an interference fit to the OD of the bronze bushings. While you have this setup make the bore for the lip seal about 3/16th deeper so the lip seal rides on a clean part of the shaft and you can use a two lip seal stack. Then the bushings are pressed in and viola your case is better than when it left the factory. I think you can still get new pin followers and the pin to worm clearance is adjustable so you can split the difference between loose in the center and tight on full lock.?? This probably sounds more complicated than it really is. A good machinist will totally get it. You can message me for a phone number if you or your machinist want to talk. Hope this is useful information.RegardsRay Juncal -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This will correct both the wear in the housing and the wear on the shaft at the same time. Andy. On 6/19/17, Ray Juncal wrote: > Bill I rebuilt three steering boxes this way for BN-1/BN-2s.

I do not see any problems with selling a blank plate and then you get your serial number punched into it, but buying a serial number from a wreck, that's another story. I think that is where it gets a little murky.

Still most restorers remove it to paint under it. You can get a title by having a VIN search done in the NICS database of stolen vehicles and posting a surety bond for the value of the car. When I did mine the VIN returned a positive match to a stolen Winnebago in Florida. I didn't have much trouble convincing MVD that my car wasn't a Winnebago. ________________________________ From: Healeys on behalf of richard mayor Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2017 3:30:38 AM To: healeys Subject: Re: [Healeys] eBay body/Vin plate auctions That may work in your state, but in Oregon, without a title you cannot title the car, you cannot register the car, and you cannot get license plates.

That said, the Healey community would be astounded to know how many BJ8s alone are running around now with tags from other cars -- even those from "high-dollar" restorations, and how many owners don't know that until I tell them. I spend a lot of my time as BJ8 Registrar trying to help people sort out scrambled identities. Depending on which state or province the owner lives in, it can be simple or impossible to correct an incorrect VIN. When I was trying to help one guy in North Carolina correct the VIN and title of a BJ8 with a BJ7 VIN plate from New York, I was told by the DMV representative that it is a felony to remove a tag, and only a manufacturer's representative can do so. The laws obviously are not written to accommodate cars that haven't been manufactured in 50 years. What amazes me is the tag seller thinks he can get $500 for an original tag, when it is easy to buy a blank and have it stamped with whatever number you want for just a few bucks.

We all know how the prices of BN2s have escalated as of late and over the last couple of months I know of two rusted hulks of chassis have been bought purely for their tags alone and one of these was then shipped half way round the world. Can't see any difference between buying a set of tags alone and buying a tagged hulk. What I do think is patently wrong is to have a known car, then fit parts and a chassis plate from a more desirable (pricey) model and then claiming it is the more expensive car. Of the 640 100Ms built I am sure there are 1,347 left.

That said, the Healey community would be astounded to know how many BJ8s alone are running around now with tags from other cars -- even those from "high-dollar" restorations, and how many owners don't know that until I tell them. I spend a lot of my time as BJ8 Registrar trying to help people sort out scrambled identities. Depending on which state or province the owner lives in, it can be simple or impossible to correct an incorrect VIN. When I was trying to help one guy in North Carolina correct the VIN and title of a BJ8 with a BJ7 VIN plate from New York, I was told by the DMV representative that it is a felony to remove a tag, and only a manufacturer's representative can do so. The laws obviously are not written to accommodate cars that haven't been manufactured in 50 years. What amazes me is the tag seller thinks he can get $500 for an original tag, when it is easy to buy a blank and have it stamped with whatever number you want for just a few bucks. The DMV guy almost went apoplectic when I told him that. From my point of view as keeper of the BJ8 Registry, I'm glad the tags showed up on eBay.

The BN2 transmission is very similar to the 100/6. The bell housing is different but interchangeable as the 100/6 uses an hydraulic clutch whereas the BN2 clutch is mechanically operated. The 1st motion shaft on the 100/6 is longer but can be cut down to allow use of the transmission in a BN2. The BN1 transmission, although completely different from a 100/6 could be replaced by one if a BN2 bell housing and clutch were used and the input shaft was shortened. I think that is all of... others may have thoughts.

In the 70's and 80' this rule resulted in many many tags being moved from one car to another. Typically someone with a "clapped out" usually very rotten car (Healey) would purchase, in "unfit" condition, a car of the same sort (Healey) but in better condition. Then to avoid having to have a safety inspection and incidentally sales tax, they (the perp) would merely move the tags from their former car and install them on the replacement. Problem solved and no safety inspection required. Bonus ... you had a source for parts to keep the replacement on the road. Unfortunately, as a dealer, our inventories were subject to frequent audit so this was not an option.

The BN2 transmission is very similar to the 100/6. The bell housing is different but interchangeable as the 100/6 uses an hydraulic clutch whereas the BN2 clutch is mechanically operated. The 1st motion shaft on the 100/6 is longer but can be cut down to allow use of the transmission in a BN2. The BN1 transmission, although completely different from a 100/6 could be replaced by one if a BN2 bell housing and clutch were used and the input shaft was shortened. I think that is all of... others may have thoughts. Michael S -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Much different with a Bj8 vin is stamped into shock tower. We put pa car back on the road. That was our mission. No fraud inteded. You could buy pa running car for less than $1000.00 bucks. Really nice ones maybe $8-20k. Those cars have clean titles... I bought my car 42+ years ago for $500.00. took me a year and a half to get it back on the road. Wrecked it in 1980. Swapped running gear and front suspension over to the $350.00 rolling car. A 3000 engine and body were reunited with my old bn4 tags. Again no fraud intended. Just getting my car back on the road.

Josef, if you can't distinguish the difference someone swapping out plates on a 100 to a 100M to make some fast and fraudulent bucks and someone takes two cars to make one out of enthusiasm for a particular kind of car and a desire to enjoy and have one one the road again, well, I was going to throw out some kind of insult but I really don't have words. There was, in my opinion, once a better time when we were most all just happy as hell to own a car that looked good and ran well. Some were fortunate enough to have such a car because it was new, or a well preserved and factory original, others took parts from more than one car that was too far gone in one way, and parts from another that was too far gone in another to make one decent car, either out of a simple need to have something to drive, our out of a desire to have a neat and desireable car we couldn't otherwise afford. If people didnt have the love of cars needed to do this there would be a lot fewer Healeys and other interesting old cars around today, they would have all gone to the scrapper. Your opinion that there is only one "right way" to do things regarding cars that you express all the time is really getting to be like a bad record that is skipping and playing the same song over and over again. PS, I also don't agree with you assessement of what is not legal or illegal in a "constitutional democracy". In a constitutional democracy a man should have the right to do what he wants with his own property as long as he is not infringing on the safety and rights of others. What you are describing as your version of eutopia is what I would call a totalitarian state.

Would you take a car in your register where you know the car is a 100/6, just fitted a BT7 chassis plate? Or how do you put it in? As a was 100/6, now 3000 Mk1. Or another question to the 100/6 registrar. Do you take the 100/6 out of your register and mark it as scrapped or mutated to a 3000 MK1 or what would you do when you know what happened to the car? Meanwhile our Austin-Healeys are in a value region where its not just a set of parts to play around. For many Austin-Healeys and other valuable classic cars are an investment now and when you buy a car which is not as the documents tell you really lost some money. I have many inquiries from people buying an Austin-Healey and realise they spend real money for a car which is not at all honest and not worth half they paid for.

Josef, if you can't distinguish the difference someone swapping out plates on a 100 to a 100M to make some fast and fraudulent bucks and someone takes two cars to make one out of enthusiasm for a particular kind of car and a desire to enjoy and have one one the road again, well, I was going to throw out some kind of insult but I really don't have words. There was, in my opinion, once a better time when we were most all just happy as hell to own a car that looked good and ran well. Some were fortunate enough to have such a car because it was new, or a well preserved and factory original, others took parts from more than one car that was too far gone in one way, and parts from another that was too far gone in another to make one decent car, either out of a simple need to have something to drive, our out of a desire to have a neat and desireable car we couldn't otherwise afford. If people didnt have the love of cars needed to do this there would be a lot fewer Healeys and other interesting old cars around today, they would have all gone to the scrapper. Your opinion that there is only one "right way" to do things regarding cars that you express all the time is really getting to be like a bad record that is skipping and playing the same song over and over again. PS, I also don't agree with you assessement of what is not legal or illegal in a "constitutional democracy". In a constitutional democracy a man should have the right to do what he wants with his own property as long as he is not infringing on the safety and rights of others. What you are describing as your version of eutopia is what I would call a totalitarian state.

However, using the plates from one car on another car can mask the status of both of them. As long as the buyer of the car is made aware of what was done, that's fine with me. However, I know that one of the "professional restorers" sold a car that made its way to a buyer who was very upset when he learned from the registry that the VIN plate, while it appeared to be a valid number actually wasn't (it said HBJ8U/42505G, which is a number for an American-spec car, whereas the original 42505 was German-spec and was HBJ8L/42505G). The body plate was from HBJ8L/34404, the engine from HBJ8L/38063, and the number found on the shock tower was from another car. The buyer was so upset that he had that car up for sale a few days later (not mentioning any of the discrepancies, of course). Another well-known restorer, when the owner learned from the registry that the numbers weren't compatible and complained to him, removed the original VIN from the shock tower without any direction from the owner to do so. Fortunately, it was recorded in the registry before he removed it. When it comes to reusing plates and changing identities, a lot of things have been done in the past and are still going on that new owners don't know up front. Prospective owners would best be served by checking with the BJ8 Registry before deciding to buy a BJ8. There are simply an incredible number of cars that no longer have the identities that they left the factory with.

Don't some people buy Jule frames for their restoration when rust or accident damage destroys the old frame? Maybe the sheet metal had to be replaced along with a new inner frame too. Is that now fraud because the original owner replaced most of the car behind the chassis ID plate? These days when you can replace almost any part of a Healey with a reproduction or original part and just about build a car from parts available I don't see what is wrong with what I am doing. When I sell the car, I will be happy to tell the prospective buyer exactly how the car was built.

The Swiss organisers expect payment via direct bank transfer. I and many of my friends do not go there as the money asked for taking part is far over our budget. And you have to pay for overnight stay additionally, and its in a huge funpark where its so busy you can?t believe. Not a nice location for a Healey event. The programme is not really inviting. So as far as I know only 20-25 cars are coming over from the UK, even less from Germany. What they say on the Euro 18 booking form is: "already registered but not paid by bank wire, waiting for Credit Card payment solution - you have to register again and proived us your "old" register number (regulatory requirement)" Very strange to understand, even for me as a European, speaking europeanese.

The money goes to the Swiss organisers what ever they do with it. I loved the European Meets and participated to all except one I couldn?t go because of job restricions. But this one is different and nearly all of the British I talked to say we stay away of it. We expect its the last of the European ones as its ffar over the top and not what enthusiasts want. There was the Austin-Healey Club UK one week event in the "real" Black Forest last year we all enjoyed so much which was located in the heart of the Black Forest and not as this one in a not rreally nice area of the Rhine valley in a Holiday park where ten thousands of visitors are each day. There is nothing nice of this place in the nearer surroundings. Mornings and evenings there are huge congestions of visitors cars going in and out. I was born in Freiburg, a couple of miles from the place, and know the area very well as my parents and family still live in Freiburg.

Derek On Tue, Jun 27, 2017 at 7:25 PM, josef-eckert at t-online.de Hello Ken, As far as I know its a real challenge to pay by Credit Card. The Swiss organisers expect payment via direct bank transfer. I and many of my friends do not go there as the money asked for taking part is far over our budget. And you have to pay for overnight stay additionally, and its in a huge funpark where its so busy you can?t believe. Not a nice location for a Healey event. The programme is not really inviting. So as far as I know only 20-25 cars are coming over from the UK, even less from Germany. What they say on the Euro 18 booking form is: "already registered but not paid by bank wire, waiting for Credit Card payment solution - you have to register again and proived us your "old" register number (regulatory requirement)" Very strange to understand, even for me as a European, speaking europeanese.

The more publicity the registries can get -- through articles in the magazines or word of mouth -- the more people will know about them, and that's about all we can do. And the more the registries can do for the Healey and model communities, the more publicity they are likely to get. The sad thing is when people find out about the registries only after they have bought a car that was not what they thought it was. In my experience, that is not an unusual occurrence.

I have never had a problem previously with an overdrive disengaging when it is switched off and I moved the shifter thru neutral and into 2nd. But, apparently that was the case before I purchased the car and I did not realize it. The overdrive appeared to work properly but in fact, it was not releasing when it was turned off and that caused the problem. I am thinking about adding a warning light that indicates the overdrive is still engaged even if the switch is off and I'm trying to figure out how to accomplish this. I believe that a light in the power line with solenoid simply means that the solenoid is off but not that the overdrive is disengaged. The same is true with all of the other switches. What is the wisdom of the list on how best to do this. How can a warning light be installed properly? Thanks, Fred 66 BJ8 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

However there are other easier checks that will help you. With the ignition on but the engine not running turn on the overdrive and, without touching the throttle you should hear the solenoid click in and out as you move the gear lever back and forth across the gate i.e. left to right. If you hear that noise then the overdrive gearlever switch is working okay. Now, again with the ignition on but the engine not running put the gearlever in 4th gear and apply about 1/2 throttle. Now turn the overdrive switch on and off, on and off and you should hear the solenoid clacking in and out each time you operate the switch. If you get that result, with the throttle depressed then the overdrive throttle switch is working. You should get one clack noise when you turn the overdrive switch on *with the throttle closed* and no noise when you turn the overdrive switch off and then on again. An overdrive can reputedly stay in overdrive for some time after the solenoid power is disconnected *if *the bleed off port in the operating valve is blocked but I have never actually encountered that fault. I suspect that you will find that the overdrive is staying in as a result of the solenoid is still being powered because once the hydraulic pressure is removed from the operating pistons, which is what happens when you de-energize the solenoid, there 8 pretty strong springs that move the overdrive out of operation.

Theoretically, you could add a pressure switch to sense the overdrive oil pressure and use that to drive the warning light. But practically, I think it would be difficult. The only place available to mount such a switch is to replace the plug above the overdrive metering pin, so the switch would have to accommodate that location. The first modification I ever did to my BJ8 was to add an overdrive warning switch. I didn't know anything about the overdrive, except that all the books said never to reverse the car with overdrive engaged. I found myself constantly doing that with the dash switch still selected to overdrive, but wasn't aware that the gearshift switch was disengaging the overdrive as it was supposed to do. Anyway, I installed a red warning light above the ODRIVE/NORMAL switch to remind me to turn that switch off before reversing the car. It has been doing its job well for 33 years now. It illuminates when the dash switch is selected O/DRIVE, so it doesn't tell me the overdrive is disengaged when turned off; but I did discover a couple other useful functions of the switch: The light stays on when turned off, until I press on the accelerator, then it goes out. That tells me the overdrive throttle switch is adjusted properly. It also helps to troubleshoot problems with the overdrive upstream of the light. I once noticed that the overdrive suddenly wasn't engaging, and the warning light was not on -- although the dash switch was in O/DRIVE. That told me that the problem was electrical, not hydraulic. I found that the input terminal of the dash switch had broken off and was still in the wire connector.

I'm not sure why that would happen other than excessive wear on one or the other or possibly the use of the wrong lubricant. the solution as I recall was to tap the brake ring with a hammer from under the car. The danger is that you would not Know it had not disengaged and try to drive in reverse. If I were afraid this might be happening to my car I would engage the overdrive while it was running and then stop the engine and, placing it in reverse gear, try gently rocking the car backwards. If there's no resistance from the drivetrain you are golden. otherwise you need to pull the OD and find out what is causing the problem. The best protection is to come out of OD while you are still moving in a forward gear and to be constantly aware that the OD is actually disengaging as it should.

Obviously, you have general power to the car. If the wiring to the switch is secure, then I would check for power to the starter relay. The starter button would provide power to the relay, which is simply a remote switch. When the starter button is pushed, power to the relay causes the internal coil to close the relay contacts to route power from the battery directly to the starter. If the relay isn't working, then the starter won't turn. If the relay is working, you should hear the relay click when the starter button is pushed.

It will be an early solenoid with a rubber dome on the end of the cylindrical housing. With the car in neutral, press the rubber dome to manually engage the solenoid which should trigger the starter motor. Whilst you are there you will find a White with red tracer wire connected to a lucar connector on the solenoid. That is the input to the solenoid from the starter button. Run a wire from a ?hot? connection at the fuse box to the lucar connector to see if that triggers the solenoid. If it does you probably have a button problem. If it doesn?t you have dodgy solenoid.

If you stick your finger up in that location there is usually enough room to push the button. If will make a mechanical connection of the solenoid rather than the electrical connection made with the starter button on the dash. Make sure the car in in neutral, parking brake on and your other body parts clear of anything the moves should the engine crank. If the engine cranks, turn the key on and push the solenoid button again and the engine should fire up. If that is the case then usually your problem in in the dash mounted starter button or its wiring. Any questions, let me know.

I turned the key and heard the sweet sound of the SU fuel pump go tick, tick, tick ? tick ?? tick ?? then stop (which is good). Lights go on ? indicators work, horn works ?? Where should I start ? can a switch just go bad in a few months just sitting after firing right up a few months ago? Fuses are good, leads are in, earth switch is on, etc.? Should I just crawl under the dash and pull the starter and ?start? there with the multimeter ? or is there somewhere else I should investigate.? I appreciate all your input and replies!

My recommendation is that you use a Toyota pressure plate and have the flywheel lightened at the same time. If you use a Toyota pressure plate it will be necessary to have about a .020" step on the face of the flywheel where the disc makes contact. If the shop does not know this then go somewhere else.
