From austin.healey at gmail.com Wed Aug 1 06:37:49 2018 From: austin.healey at gmail.com (Chris Dimmock) Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2018 22:37:49 +1000 Subject: [Healeys] Interesting (?) Photos References: <20180731181813.AE2D72585C63@autox.team.net> Hi Perry, I suspect the mistake you have made is that the calculations indicate the vehicle is stationary. If I use your same calculations for the same column of air (so let's assume the radiator opening is the same size as the fan diameter), but the car is travelling at 60mph: 60 mph = 5,280 ft per min, which is also the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow. So then 3.1416 x .390525 x 5,280 = 6,478 CFM Which is why you never have an overheating issue at 60 mph (unless you've put an electric fan in front of your radiator, as happened to several competitors at Bathurst) I'm not sure what this all proves, but it shows that you only generate 20% as much airflow stationary in your driveway at 3,000 rpm as you do driving at 60 mph.

An Austin Healey 100 radiator fan has a four blades with a 15 inch (1.25 foot) diameter and an 4-inch effective pitch (one inch pitch times four blades). This means that each revolution of the running fan blows the 1.25 foot diameter column of air coming passed the fan 4 inches. There are efficiency losses but we are talking generalities here . For the two ends of the spectrum the engine is idling at 700 rpm or powering along the road at 3000 rpm. The pulley setup on the AH100 is nearly the same diameter on the water pump and crank, so the fan rpm is approximately the same as engine rpm. > > Calculate the linear velocity of the air through the running fan. If each revolution moves the air 4 inches, then 700-revolutions per minute multiplied by 4 means the air is being moved at 2800 inches per minute, or 233 feet in one minute. For 3000 rpm engine speed, the answer is 12000 inches or 1000 feet. > > Calculate the CFM (volumetric flow of air) at 700 rpm. The volume of the column of air described above is pi (3.1416) x fan radius squared (7.5 inches or 0.625 feet squared) times the column length in feet. This would be 3.1416 x 0.390525 square feet x 233 feet = 285 cubic feet per minute at 700 rpm. At 3000 rpm the CFM is 1226. > > I knew that the stock fans do not move much air but my calculation says it really is horrendous. Suspect my math is off somewhere.

References: We spent many many hours chasing this problem on several different cars. Everything from Healey, Triumph and MGs. The final find was that they were leaning out at high steady RPMs. And the Healey Tri Carb was the worst. The cure after many attempts was found that due to the Ethanol in the fuel the engine was progresivly getting leaner and leaner the higher the rpm range. This was found by installing a O2 sensor in the tail pipe and monitoring the mixture while driving. So what we ended up doing to cure the problem was to install Rich Needles and instantly the problem went away.

HI all, just wanted to give thanks to all the very knowledgeable listers who give so freely of their time and expertise. I hope to have cured my higher rev range fuel starvation problem and I must give thanks to Kees for pointing me in the right direction with a comment he made on June 26 " The AZX1307 is not the correct pump for the AH. The original on later cars was AUF300 series, mostly 301 but there are some variations. The replacement of the AUF301 is AZX1308 which delivers a higher pressure, if my memory is correct 3,8psi versus 2,7psi" That is when the figurative bulb over my head went on! I had replaced the fuel pump a couple of years ago but had not connected the 2 events ( fuel starvation and the new pump) I checked on my car and sure enough, I had the AZX1307 . I ordered the AZX1308 and have just installed it --will try it out tomorrow once I am sure there are no leaks once again , thanks to all!

This factory left-drive 100M wears serial number 232949, and was originally delivered to the USA in 1956. It is believed that the car was raced in the New York region of the SCCA in its early days, and in the late 1960s was sold to its second owners, Dick and Sharon Gunthell of North Salem, NY, who kept the car for the next 30 years. They eventually treated the car to a comprehensive restoration which was completed in 2002. The car was refinished in Old English White over a blue interior and was enjoyed for several years before being sold to the third owner, who in late 2010 handed the car over to BMC Classics of Florida for further restoration work and freshening. While in the care of BMC Classics, the Healey was extensively refreshed and meticulously detailed to concours standards, with the work exceeding $20,000. This included a new interior trimmed in correct blue leather with white piping, and extensive under bonnet and suspension detailing. Today, this rare and highly desirable factory-built Healey 100M remains in beautiful condition, most recently part of an important collection of post-war sports cars. The Old English white paintwork remains in very good condition overall and the chrome and detailing is finished to a high standard. It retains the correct original louvered bonnet with leather strap, and of course the signature 100-4 folding windscreen.

Items I am not sure of: painted all over green instead of black dynamo body and bare aluminium end plates, gold coloured instead of black coil, red ignition leads which are numbered. To much detailing always gives away the game. Not as it left the factory. Although Michelin made radial tyres from the late 40?s, so that could be correct, the thread pattern is rather modern and Dunlop may not have been in radials yet at the time. Were the brake drums painted silver originally? Perhaps the chrome wire wheels were an option? Important? Not really. The thing should be driven, let us hope it will not end up as a trailer queen. Strangely there are no pictures from underneath or identification plaques/engravings/stampings. Expensive? You bet!

First of all, this is a very nice car, and I think the price is not unreasonble.? But, there are some, er, 'anomalies:' 1) Note the slight 'pooch' out on the rear doglegs (photos# 1&2).? Dogleg repairs are difficult; often the bottom rear pokes out, giving the appearance of 'spurs.'? In this case, I think the body man bent the inner bead out a little to get the bottom line to conform.? A shot right down the side might show a slight bulge (this is one of those things where, once you're aware of it jumps out at you).? Otherwise, the panel fit looks pretty good 2) I don't think that's the correct beading on the splash pan, and cutting it off at a right angle like this is plain tacky (third photo, if I've ordered them correctly).? There is beading available that, while not exactly correct, is thinner.? My late father insisted we wrap it around the corners here and on the vertical lines so a sharp cut didn't show. 3) I don't believe the curvature of the 'swage line' extension here is exactly correct (fourth photo).? I paid $40 for an 'official' template--a piece of poster board--from Bill Meade.? Then, Rich Chrysler chided me when he informed me it's the same curvature as the actual swage line on the 6-cyl cars. 4) I don't believe the hose clamps are correct (except for the one on the cold air box).? Rich informed me they should be the 'jubilee' type; similar to the one attaching the hose to the CAB.? I hope he was right, they are a PITA to install. 5) The bottom flange joining the boot pan and the rear shroud should be painted flat black (but a can of paint, a brush, and 10 minutes would fix this). 6) The 'cove' paint looks a little bluish in my browser; should be gloss black I believe. Note there are two levels of '100M Registry' certification: owner-certified, and Registry-certified.? The former requires only a copy of the BMIHT cert, and the latter requires the cert, plus photos of several pertinent items on the Ms that are somewhat more difficult to counterfeit.

Delivered new to the USA and raced in period SCCA events. Beautifully restored and ready for events worldwide. Our featured 1956 Austin Healey 100M is one of the genuine, highly desirable, factory-built examples, documented by a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate as well as by the Austin Healey 100M Le Mans Registry. This factory left-drive 100M wears serial number 232949, and was originally delivered to the USA in 1956. It is believed that the car was raced in the New York region of the SCCA in its early days, and in the late 1960s was sold to its second owners, Dick and Sharon Gunthell of North Salem, NY, who kept the car for the next 30 years. They eventually treated the car to a comprehensive restoration which was completed in 2002. The car was refinished in Old English White over a blue interior and was enjoyed for several years before being sold to the third owner, who in late 2010 handed the car over to BMC Classics of Florida for further restoration work and freshening. While in the care of BMC Classics, the Healey was extensively refreshed and meticulously detailed to concours standards, with the work exceeding $20,000. This included a new interior trimmed in correct blue leather with white piping, and extensive under bonnet and suspension detailing. Today, this rare and highly desirable factory-built Healey 100M remains in beautiful condition, most recently part of an important collection of post-war sports cars. The Old English white paintwork remains in very good condition overall and the chrome and detailing is finished to a high standard. It retains the correct original louvered bonnet with leather strap, and of course the signature 100-4 folding windscreen. The Healey sits low on the road as it should, with its uprated dampers and sway bars and riding on chrome wire wheels wrapped in Dunlop radial tires.........................

Initially, the 100M was a factory-only option and 640 were built at Longbridge.

I think that's bass-ackwards, is it not?? The story I've always heard is that DMH saw how many cars were being retrofitted with the kits and realized he could goose sales a bit in the last year of the 100 by offering a factory '100M.' This car has blue interior and what could be 'Lobelia Blue' as used exclusively on the 100S, AFAIK.? Patrick??

Our featured 1956 Austin Healey 100M is one of the genuine, highly desirable, factory-built examples, documented by a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate as well as by the Austin Healey 100M Le Mans Registry. This factory left-drive 100M wears serial number 232949, and was originally delivered to the USA in 1956.

They eventually treated the car to a comprehensive restoration which was completed in 2002. The car was refinished in Old English White over a blue interior and was enjoyed for several years before being sold to the third owner, who in late 2010 handed the car over to BMC Classics of Florida for further restoration work and freshening. While in the care of BMC Classics, the Healey was extensively refreshed and meticulously detailed to concours standards, with the work exceeding $20,000. This included a new interior trimmed in correct blue leather with white piping, and extensive under bonnet and suspension detailing. Today, this rare and highly desirable factory-built Healey 100M remains in beautiful condition, most recently part of an important collection of post-war sports cars.

Black/red is a rarer combination for an M (though it wouldn't be my favorite).? If I was going to go with a non-original scheme, I'd go with Florida Green over white, which I think is absolutely stunning (and shows in some of the selling prices I've seen). Any chance this is a 'counterfeit;' i.e. one of the cars where the BMIHT cert was 'shopped' by an unscrupulous restorer (there was an infamous case where someone submitted a series of VINs, looking for one with the 'shipped with louvred bonnet' comment). As I mentioned, one level of '100M Registry' certification only requires the BMIHT cert. Bob On 8/2/2018 6:23 AM, Randall Hicks wrote: > Trying it again.

Reference the Ruddspeed setup about which I enquired. (1.75in always or not?) It had never been used and looked brand new. I was determined to get it (at almost any price) and was stalking it on eBay. It started off at ?300, Reserve not met. On an auction. Then someone bid ?500. Then that bid was withdrawn and it changed to ?Buy it now? at ?700. The ?500 bidder bought it immediately. Plainly he?d done a deal with the vendor. I?m disappointed as I was going to win that auction. The real loser is the vendor who could have got a lot more than ?700. I?d not be surprised if it turns up on eBay again, but at twice the price. My wife is not at all disappointed! So someone?s happy!! And thank you all for your answers. Simon -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I decided to get some of those little bulbs if I could find them at a sensible price. I decided to hunt down the size and reference of the bulb holder and then seek the appropriate LEDs. The bulb holder is an E10. Over here at least one can buy 10 of the short flat ones for ?12:95 inc P&P. The longer ones are a little more, but only pennies really. I only point this out as people have been mentioning prices approaching that for one single bulb. Just to let you know Now, I?ve put the bulbs in and they make a noticeable difference to the Main Beam and the Indicator. The instruments? Not sure until I go out at night .they were OK anyhow. (I do hate fossicking around behind the instruments. Always worry that I?ll detach some vital wire or two.) Question haven?t I heard that LED bulbs aren?t suitable for the red Ignition light? Why?

A recently deceased Healey restorer friend of mine that sold four 100M cars at auction houses like Barret-Jackson and RM auctions constantly would regale me with stories of Healey "experts" picking his restoration apart before the auction with no intention or resources to buy the car.? My friend used to complain about these Healey "experts" mouthing off about what is wrong with the car such as it being over restored.? My friend used to chrome some small parts that would take the most wear such as the bracket that the hood prop fit into when you open the bonnet because the paint would be scratched almost immediately the first time it was used.? He used to get grief over little things like that. ? The fact is most of the "real" buyers of his cars knew nothing about Healeys.? Most of them had been drinking all day before the auction started and the auction house facilitated this on a regular basis.? Despite his "over restored' method of producing these cars he would regularly pull in up to $250K on his 100M restorations.? He also was the only restorer at the auction that would guarantee his cars mechanically for one year after purchase and traveled to Florida one time to "fix" a car that a woman bought just to impress guests that were coming from England.? She had had trouble starting the car.? When he got there he had to explain how the manual choke worked and the car started first time.? These are the people that buy these cars.? Lots of money and no interest in knowing the finer points of our cars. It's just a nice shiny object that they want. Unfortunately this is typical of the? majority of auction customers.? Hence the over inflated prices of our cars that most of us could never get or or try with a good conscience to.? OK, off my soap box for now. You guys can go back to the finer points to argue.?

This will afford the seller to keep selling great cars and help the vintage car community. On June 19th the owner of Hyman Ltd., Mark Hyman made a presentation in Washington against the proposed 25% tariff that the Government wants to put in place when importing cars or car parts. He presented, along with other interested parties, to the Department of Commerce as to why this was a bad idea and that the vintage car business is a $180 billion industry at the moment. I believe that we need more Mark Hyman in our community, even if the cars he sells are not quite to the Concours level we expect. By the way, I had looked at a BT7 restored, actually over restored by your friend at an RM auction in Arizona several years ago and I pointed out to the person who was with me that the trunk seal was missing and now it would become a difficult task to fit one and make it all fit. A lady was nearby, turned out to be the sellers wife, simply told me that it did not rain in California, I just shook my head and walked away.

This car is not going not be bought by any Healey expert. It is not even aimed at us. The person that buys this car will be looking at it as an investment. He probably will be buying his first Healey. Unless he has a Healey expert inspect the car first, he is going to be surprised at the first Healey event he attends when they pick the car apart. A recently deceased Healey restorer friend of mine that sold four 100M cars at auction houses like Barret-Jackson and RM auctions constantly would regale me with stories of Healey "experts" picking his restoration apart before the auction with no intention or resources to buy the car. My friend used to complain about these Healey "experts" mouthing off about what is wrong with the car such as it being over restored. My friend used to chrome some small parts that would take the most wear such as the bracket that the hood prop fit into when you open the bonnet because the paint would be scratched almost immediately the first time it was used. He used to get grief over little things like that. The fact is most of the "real" buyers of his cars knew nothing about Healeys. Most of them had been drinking all day before the auction started and the auction house facilitated this on a regular basis. Despite his "over restored' method of producing these cars he would regularly pull in up to $250K on his 100M restorations. He also was the only restorer at the auction that would guarantee his cars mechanically for one year after purchase and traveled to Florida one time to "fix" a car that a woman bought just to impress guests that were coming from England. She had had trouble starting the car. When he got there he had to explain how the manual choke worked and the car started first time. These are the people that buy these cars. Lots of money and no interest in knowing the finer points of our cars. It's just a nice shiny object that they want. Unfortunately this is typical of the majority of auction customers. Hence the over inflated prices of our cars that most of us could never get or or try with a good conscience to. OK, off my soap box for now. You guys can go back to the finer points to argue.

If I was going to go with a non-original scheme, I'd go with Florida Green over white, which I think is absolutely stunning (and shows in some of the selling prices I've seen). Any chance this is a 'counterfeit;' i.e. one of the cars where the BMIHT cert was 'shopped' by an unscrupulous restorer (there was an infamous case where someone submitted a series of VINs, looking for one with the 'shipped with louvred bonnet' comment). As I mentioned, one level of '100M Registry' certification only requires the BMIHT cert. Bob On 8/2/2018 6:23 AM, Randall Hicks wrote: Trying it again. Message may have been too big. As I understand it, as early as autumn 1953 "Le Mans modifications" and ?Special Tuning equipment" parts were available from the DHMC. These could be bought outright, through dealers or DHMC installed. According to Piggott?s Austin-Healey 100 in Detail, the P280 Le Mans Kit (as a complete package) was released in October 1955. If others have documentation showing different, I would be very interested is seeing it. Secondly, OEW duotone 100M were only done in OEW/Black with Black trim. There was no OEW/Lobella with blue trim as a standard factory option for the 100M. However, remember that 100?s could be ordered in special color or primer. This particular car, BN2L/232949, was originally a Black/Reno Red with Black interior trim and hood. See attached BMIHT Certificate. I looked at the car in 2008 or 2009 (?) when it was offered for sale by Jerry Bennsinger (OH). It was all OEW with blue trim at that point and I passed for many reasons.

If you look at the wiring diagram you will see that the charge indicator light is not grounded, but that one lead is connected directly to the hot (by design negative) side of the charging circuit while the other is connected to the hot side of the battery. when the generator is not charging the current flows from the battery to the charging circuit and lights the lamp. When the engine is running and the generator is operating the circuit is balanced and there is no flow in the circuit. If there is a fault in the charging circuit that causes the generator to overcharge it again unbalances the circuit in the reverse direction and causes the charge indicator light to glow. An LED is a diode which means the current is only allowed to flow in one direction. Therefore it will either not work when the current flow is in the wrong direction, or if the current limit is exceeded it may be destroyed.

A tungsten bulb has far less resistance than an LED bulb so the charging may not work completely as it should. However the high beam indicator is just a bulb parallel with the high beam lights and do not present any problem.

Whether or not a 'character line' should carry over past a wheel well is still a matter of some contention in design circles; I've heard some somewhat heated discussions about the lines on, for instance, the new Mustang and Taurus.?

That is exactly where my 67 BJ8 fuel line fitting is mounted so the tank was always tilted up to the fitting and not sitting flat on the trunk floor. Rather than change the position of the fitting I will be using a flexible mesh fuel line extension. At the conclave I discuss this problem. One owner said, you mean your fuel line is mounted in your truck boot compartment. Mine was on the other side of the panel and I had to carefully feed the tank fitting through the hole and with fingertips get it to screw on to the fuel line end fitting. Sounds as if this is another item which is placed wherever the installer wants it to be placed and the installer of the tank just makes it fit.

There were several variants. It started with an atmospheric 2.0 (907), later enlarged to 2.2 (910) and finally a turbo charged 2.2 (912). It started with the 16 valve head. By coincidence it had the same spacing between the 4 cylinders as the slant-4 1.6/1.8/2.0/2.3 Vauxhall engine. They used the 2.0 bottom end to test the head and even build a racing engine that way. Around 1971 they developed their own alloy engine block, also slanted. However they kept a few items of the Vauxhall block: crankshaft and flywheel. The later V8 was in fact two 912 engines with a common crankcase. I have a Jensen-Healey and the Lotus 907 engine, when tuned properly with 45mm Dell?Orto?s, develops around 160 BHP and can be taken up to about 280BHP. The J-H always had the Lotus 907 engine. The Lotus Europa had a Renault engine later replaced by a Ford based lotus Twin Cam.

For example: Do you have the original style air cleaners & crankcase breathing system? Is the vacuum advance working correctly & smoothly? What is the timing set at & how was it measured? What plugs are you using & what are they gapped at? What cam are you using & what is the engine compression? What are the valve lash settings for your cam and have they been checked recently? I would want to inspect the HD8 choke mechanism to determine if it is fully released when the engine is warmed up. Just pushing the choke knob in is no assurance the mechanism has fully released. I would like to verify the idle mixture by "pushing the lift pin up about 1/32" after the free pay has been taken up"-see shop manual. This is almost impossible to correctly do on a hot engine with a pair of HD8's! Up to this point I have assumed that the carbs are in very good repair & set-up correctly. Including: correctly synchronized, all the interconnecting linkage is set correctly including the appropriate free play in the various forks, pins & screws. There are 2 schools of thought on adjusting HD8 idle. One contends that the "slow run screws" should be completely closed & the idle set with the "fast Idle" screw. The debate occurs over the definition of the "fast Idle" screw vs. the "throttle adjusting" screws. The other school contends that the HD8's as fitted to Austin Healeys, only have "fast idle" screws & were not ever fitted with "throttle adjusting" screws. Note that the manual says "Whenever the throttle adjusting screws are fitted...???.". Many people think that "fast idle" screw & "throttle adjusting" screw are interchangeable terms, but they are not. If you close the "slow run screws" then, on the HD8's as fitted to Healeys, you will have no choice but to try to set the idle with the fast idle screws which are intended to be part of the choke mechanism & intended to be completely disengaged when the car is at operating temperature. This means that you will not have a dedicated idle circuit & will be depending on the carb throttle butterfly (which will be almost closed) to control the idle speed. The affect is that the smallest change in the throttle butterfly position will have a large affect on the idle speed. If you have a "hotter" that standard BJ8 cam the challenge is accentuated.

Initially the gearbox came from Vauxhall while later cars were fitted with a ZF five-speed. It was the first modern DOHC four-valve engine built on a production line. There were a few problems with the engine as Jensen pushed Lotus to supply the engine before it had sufficient testing. There were faults that came out in the hands of owners and subsequent expensive service claims. It was the costs to repair the engines that sent Jensen into the red. However to drive a well sorted Jensen-Healey is a delight, especially one fitted with the ZF gearbox. As to the Renault engine, I think you might be thinking of the S1 and S2 Lotus Europa that was fitted with a Renault 16 engine and gearbox that was turned around the other way than what it was in the Renault. Later Europas had the DOHC Lotus engine, but still with a Renault box.

It is relatively fast, rather comfortable if the seat and shocks are as they should be and it holds the road far better than any A-H. It does lean a bit in corners but that does not affect the roadholding. Fitting an A-R bar spoils the handling. The brakes, although excellent for the period, could be improved upon by fitting 4-pot callipers and grooved discs. I did. Expect it will rain as much inside or outside with the soft top up or down with an after-market one. Have one tailor made. Good J-H?s are relatively cheap. $10.000 should get you an excellent car. Before you start driving it, replace the cam belt first thing, around $25 a piece and an easy job. Parts supply is very good in EU as the underpinnings, brakes and steering are Vauxhall Viva/Firenza/magnum HC. Most of the J-H ended up in the USA and used parts are fairly easy to get at in the USA. Exclusivity guaranteed as nobody will recognise the car in EU, USA or anywhere else in the world.

If you are talking about a BN1 then the line should just fade into the top of wheel well since the swage line was originally designed to match the height of the wheel well on the fender. I think the 100Ss used BN1 fenders so maybe a look at one of those would clarify. Bill ________________________________ From: Healeys on behalf of Henry A.

What I was talking about is the actual swage line in the metal. My car is one color, as were most of the early cars because as Gerry said, that's just the way the British did them. The rear "wing" was smooth. No crease in the metal. That made the two tone paint job more difficult as there was no line to follow. And so Donald asked Gerry to design and show the body guys where the crease should be made in the actual metal so painters would have a built in line to follow. Make sense now?

That would be sorta like the early 'Vettes, which had a small, oval 'cove' that looped from the front wheel well back to in front of the rear wheel well and back. I can attest that, even with the swage line, it is difficult to get a smooth, continuous line from behind the front wheel well to the back of the rear shroud.

Bill Lawrence ________________________________ Sent: Thursday, August 2, 2018 10:10:58 PM To: WILLIAM B LAWRENCE Subject: Re: [Healeys] Fwd: 1956 Austin-Healey 100M I remember talking with Gerry Coker about this in an interview I did with him. He also told me about the design of bringing the swage line past the rear wheel opening. He thought it should end at the opening, but since folks wanted to two tone the cars and needed a line to follow, Donald asked him to continue the line and send his suggestions to the body makers. And the rest as they say, is history. But if you notice the early cars do not have a swage line that flows past the rear wheel opening. S Steven, If you have a copy of the Austin Healey 100 service manual take a look at the very first factory illustration on page iii. It shows the correct installation. The story is that Gerry Coker was looking for a detail to break the slab sided aspect of the car by emphasizing the sweep of the swage line to enhance the overall design. He found the shape he wanted by breaking one of his long, narrow pen nibs in half and using that for his model. To place the blunt end of the spear forward would be counter to the overall aesthetic he was looking for. I think of it as an arrow or a spear in flight. My opinion, but evidently the manufacturer's also.

If you are talking about a BN1 then the line should just fade into the top of wheel well since the swage line was originally designed to match the height of the wheel well on the fender. I think the 100Ss used BN1 fenders so maybe a look at one of those would clarify. Bill ________________________________ From: Healeys on behalf of Henry A.

What I was talking about is the actual swage line in the metal. My car is one color, as were most of the early cars because as Gerry said, that's just the way the British did them. The rear "wing" was smooth. No crease in the metal. That made the two tone paint job more difficult as there was no line to follow. And so Donald asked Gerry to design and show the body guys where the crease should be made in the actual metal so painters would have a built in line to follow. Make sense now?

That would be sorta like the early 'Vettes, which had a small, oval 'cove' that looped from the front wheel well back to in front of the rear wheel well and back. I can attest that, even with the swage line, it is difficult to get a smooth, continuous line from behind the front wheel well to the back of the rear shroud.

Bill Lawrence ________________________________ Sent: Thursday, August 2, 2018 10:10:58 PM To: WILLIAM B LAWRENCE Subject: Re: [Healeys] Fwd: 1956 Austin-Healey 100M I remember talking with Gerry Coker about this in an interview I did with him. He also told me about the design of bringing the swage line past the rear wheel opening. He thought it should end at the opening, but since folks wanted to two tone the cars and needed a line to follow, Donald asked him to continue the line and send his suggestions to the body makers. And the rest as they say, is history. But if you notice the early cars do not have a swage line that flows past the rear wheel opening. S Steven, If you have a copy of the Austin Healey 100 service manual take a look at the very first factory illustration on page iii. It shows the correct installation. The story is that Gerry Coker was looking for a detail to break the slab sided aspect of the car by emphasizing the sweep of the swage line to enhance the overall design. He found the shape he wanted by breaking one of his long, narrow pen nibs in half and using that for his model. To place the blunt end of the spear forward would be counter to the overall aesthetic he was looking for. I think of it as an arrow or a spear in flight. My opinion, but evidently the manufacturer's also.

I have corresponded with Michelin and Longstone and here are their answers: Longstone: "Dear Sir, Thank you for your email, The tyres are of tube type construction,so do require inner tubes. The thing that makes a tyre tubeless is a coating on the inside of the tyre that seals them and stops them from being pouros something the 180x15 Michelin XAS does not have. It is clearly marked on the side of the tyre that they are Tube Type". That marking was clearly disregarded by the installer of the tires (Len). Also, I did not have a problem with the porousness causing any loss of air during the 7,000 miles the tires have been in use. Michelin: "...Regarding your question about the structure of the tire itself, this particular tires in the size : 180HR15 requires a tube due to the construction of the inner liners...". Although there was no response regarding my questions about a sealing bead or the safety of running these tires without a tube, on the basis of these responses, inner tubes were installed in the XAS tires on my BJ8 today.

References: <014801d42ff7$36f10620$a4d31260$@gmail.com> Alan Other than fittings, such as the oil filter extension, rocker cover and other external items the engines are virtually the same. As you say there is a difference in the number of bolts holding the distributor. Austin raised this from one to two just about the time that the first 100 was introduced. This also applied to other large 4 cylinder engines such as the A70 Hereford. Very early 100 might have only one bolt but very late A90 Atlantics might have two. There is also the possibility that a reconditioned gold seal 100 engine might be delivered with just a single bolt fixing. There is an Austin Service Journal publication showing how to drill an extra hole in the distributor two hole fixing plate but this also needs a small amount cut out of the distributor casing to allow the bolt to be tightened. The alternative for an early A90 engine is to fit the earlier Lucas distributor but this can involve other issues.

References: <014801d42ff7$36f10620$a4d31260$@gmail.com> Hello Alan, the answer is simple but complicated.. It will to some degree mean what version Atlantic engine, early or late. Like most manufacturers there were changes along the way. Baically the Atlantic and Healey are big bore Austin A70 engines. The block casting and pistons the main difference. Things like crank and conrods are the same for all 3 and have the same Austin part numbers. Same flywheel and clutch except for the A70 which is only the same in the utilities. Cams are the same except early A70 engines had narrower lobes than the later ones, which are the same as Atlantic and Healey. Some Atlantics and most A70's had the centrifugal gear oil pump with almost the same gears as the 3000 pump, and the spring loaded pushrods. As far as I know in some form this engine continued to be produced in some form up until the early 1970's in petrol, diesel, marine and industrial form. There was even a 2.5 litre petrol version that had a proper rear main seal. So I'm told. Regards Larry Varley -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The A90 also uses a mechanical pump which is on the left front of the block, generally works pretty well except it is susceptible to vapor lock being below the manifolds, so the truck from old A90 guys is to wire a piece of wood to the fuel line that acts as a heat sink and then no more vapor lock!

Wood is a terrible material for a heat sink. It is a much better insulator. If it actually solved some problem,(I doubt it), it is probably because it insulated the fuel line from absorbing more heat rather than removing heat from the line. So, insulating the fuel line in the engine bay would be much better approach than a few cloths pins.

Hello, While cleaning and freshening up the engine compartment on my BJ-8 I am replacing all the vent hoses. My question is did the later cars have the two metal clamps clamping the fresh air and the blower intake hoses to the wheel wells. I see them installed on early cars but, not sure about later cars. My car did not have them but, I have only owned it since 1984. If they were originally installed I could use some detailed pictures of the holes the clamps used for mounting.

I have a '67 BJ8 I bought new and after a few years in the South Florida (Miami) heat went to a junk yard and got a heater fan out of a junked Healey and reversed the housing parts and reversed the motor wiring inside the motor to make the squirrel cage fan blow in the right direction and mounted it in the same place as the heater blower but on the left hand side of the car in the cool air duct. I the idea was to get more air flow at slower speeds. It moved the air but didn't increase the cooling very much. It was just hot ambient air.

My e-mail address is the same as it has been for 15 years, so nothing has changed on my end. The volume of traffic on the list has certainly dropped to almost nothing recently. There seems to be more activity on Facebook, the British Car Forum, The Austin-Healey Experience, and other such sites. I miss the many folks who were on this list until the other sites opened up. More sites just dilute the overall Healey effort as far as my opinion goes....

I have to create a filter in my GMail app on my phone to allow messages to be delivered to my inbox and not to the spam folder. It is really irritating to have to do that, but Google Mail isn't about to help I suspect. Verizon mail had become so unreliable that I switched to GMail, only to encounter the spam issue. I regularly get the "bounced" messages from the Healey list but I still seem to get most of the messages that come from the list, but I may be missing a lot myself, it is difficult to tell. In the GMail app on my phone, messages from the list have the message stating that "this message was not sent to spam due to a filter I created" or something to that effect. I have accounts with several email servers but none are completely reliable, each having its own set of issues. The GMail service seems to be really aggressive when making the determination as to whether a sender or message is SPAM or not. I have tried sending emails to them to have them not label Healey list messages as spam, but to no avail or even a response. So Michael, I suggest you check your spam folders for missing messages, and probably go to GMail on via your browser as opposed to an email client like Outlook which is getting worse with every update from Microsoft, it is almost unresponsive anymore. If you go to your email account in a browser, check to see if missing messages are sitting in a spam folder. You may find a large number there.

Perhaps your emails are being trapped by your email reader, and sent to trash, with only the aol's being bounced before they reach your reader? -Roland --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus From javrugtman at htcnet.org Mon Aug 20 14:47:27 2018 From: javrugtman at htcnet.org (John Vrugtman) Date: Mon, 20 Aug 2018 16:47:27 -0400 Subject: [Healeys] Lack of action on list References: That was quite a collection, even a 2CV.

I also used the DW head gasket which apparently will allow a couple of remakes although I hope this won't be necessary. It's a standard head so I wasn't and don't expect any noticeable difference in performance. It's running fine but only done a few miles so it's early to tell yet. It's neat that the Weslake patent mark has been copied on the new castings. Talking of Westlake, the other night I was watching a ?TV show ( this is in the UK) where sheriffs try to get money back for a customer as follow up to a court order. Someone here had bought a replacement diff from a Company called Westlake and it has turned out no good. I looked the company up and it's run by a grandson of Harry Weslake and it has clearly lost its way. Shame.

I already had a positive filter directing that any emails from autox NOT be sent to spam and I have created a second and similar positive filter using the word "Healeys" so perhaps that will help. >From direct responses I have received it is clear I am not the only person affected.

That's basically the only difference. The A90 also uses a mechanical pump which is on the left front of the block, generally works pretty well except it is susceptible to vapor lock being below the manifolds, so the truck from old A90 guys is to wire a piece of wood to the fuel line that acts as a heat sink and then no more vapor lock!

It is known that the AH100 was developed to take advantage of the A90 Atlantic mechanicals and therefore I assumed that the A90 and AH100 engines were essentially the same. When externally comparing these two engines there is a minor difference between them that surprises me. The AH100 distributor mounting base on the block has bolt holes tapped into bosses each side of the distributor hole. The A90 has a single boss and a single tapped hole. This indicates to me that the AH100 engine had its own block casting at the very least, and perhaps other variations too. Could someone advise if there any other significant differences between the AH100 and A90 engines? Many thanks.

You did answer this long ago. But to update, I cut open the "splice" and found exactly what you described. It was in fact a very poor solder joint. I replaced the entire cable with red # 2 welders cable. The flexibility of the welder cable made it much easier to install. I used closed end solder on connectors at both ends of the cable, filling the connectors/cables with silver solder. I used heavy duty heat shrink insulation on both ends. I covered the solenoid and the battery connection with heavy duty rubber covers to hopefully prevent/slow down future corrosion. The cable covers in the trunk also prevent anything from coming in contact with the battery terminals (I put the terminal covers on both cables).

Don't install the seal in the hub until you've got the shims figured out. I made a nut to replace the castellated nut, that extends out past the end of the hub. Then use a dial indicator on a magnetic base attached to the brake rotor to measure the end float. Just push and pull on the splined hub to see what the total float is. Image 0670 is the nut I made. Image 667 is a mock-up on the bench of how it's used.

You keep removing shims until the bearings tighten up when you snug up the nut; then add shims about 0.002" at a time, until you reach a point where the hub turns freely.

Put in enough shims and torque the nut so that you have movement when you push the wheel inboard and pull it outboard (excessive end float). Use the dial indicator to measure how much movement there is. There should be zero end float when the adjustment is correct, so subtract the total thickness of shims as measured by the indicator (if the indicator says there is 0.015" end float, then remove a total of 0.015" from the stack). When the outer bearing is installed and the nut torqued to 40 - 70 lb-ft there should now be no detectible end float and no drag on the rotation of the wheel. It's less messy to do this before lubricating the outer bearing, but a light coating of grease to stick them together makes it easier to handle the shims. Now, if you don't have a dial indicator it's trial and error to get the shim stack the right thickness but the end result is no end float with no binding on the wheel rotation when the nut is properly torqued. If you can't get the nut castellation to line up with the hole in the axle for the cotter pin while staying within the 40 - 70 lb-ft spec, then put a 0.003" shim under the nut and try again.

Dial gauge will be more accurate but in my opinion is not needed for this set-up as it is very easy to detect when the hub is dragging, when it is free (i.e. correct) and when there is end-float. I recently did mine just using good judgement and it is easy. Also, I did my set up before packing grease into the bearings to make it easier to detect end-play, HOWEVER, don?t spin the bearings dry. I used some light oil on them just for the set-up, then when I had it correct, disassembled it all (noting the shims I needed on each side), cleaned the oil out of the bearings, packed them in the time-honoured way by forcing greases in between the rollers, then re-assemble. I can imagine not everyone might agree with me on that point, but I prefer it. The Manual for my BT7 specifies torqueing the nut to 40-70 ft-lbs. Since you are tightening the inner races of the inner and outer bearings, the spacer and shims against the inner shoulder on the stub axle to create a rigid inner assembly, the torque is not critical and the wide range allows positioning of the castellated nut to allow insertion of the cotter pin. It is critical to get this right as it provides substantial support for the stub axles, which are prone to cracking when the bearings are not set up correctly (as we all know).

I think a Dial Gauge may be getting towards overkill, but certainly there?s no harm in perfection. Speaking for myself, I?ve always managed to do wheel bearings to my own satisfaction. But, and it was a big BUT, I never really understood the physics(?) of what I was doing?..I knew that it worked, but I didn?t really know how or why. I found this to be rather depressing when I bothered to think about it?..bit like foolish NCOs telling recruits that they?re not paid to think, only to do. As ever, I appealed to the Wise Ones and I got some very helpful advice which I assimilated until I did, for the moment at least, understand. Having done that, I cobbled together an article for our local club magazine which I have the cheek to attach here. The ?how to do the procedure? bit is largely mine; the explanation of where/why and how the end float is to be found is largely Steve?s. The errors are all mine. Some of you Wiser Ones will recognize your own words. The achievement of the article, as well as boring the bejasus out of our readership, was getting the process to stick in my mind?.which it has done. More or less! But it?s there to refer to when I get even more forgetful.

The pressure plate springs push the rod back in AS the clutch peddle is returned. Actually if you push in the peddle with the rod disconnected then release the peddle additional fluid will be drawn in from the reservoir and another push on the peddle and the rod will pop all the way out. Actually there is a small spring inside the slave cylinder positioned to lightly push the rod outward for which there is no apparent reason. I discovered this when I tagged out the carbon throw out bearing in berry little miles. Apparently my clutch linkage had very little resistance and this spring was maintaining contact of the bearing. Since there was no reason for the spring, I took it out. Everything has worked fine for more than 25K miles Sent from my iPhone I think the throw out bearing pushes back on fulcrum arm and that pushes piston forward. I need to lengthen the fulcrum point on my smitty 5 speed system so the clutch engages higher up. Some day I will. Ira Erbs Portland, OR typos and artifacts are the fault of my phone Listers, If the clutch lever arm is disconnected from the slave cylinder push rod and the clutch pedal is pressed to the floor, the push rod is pushed to towards the rear of the car. When the clutch pedal is released should the suction created in the hydraulic system pull the slave cylinder piston back in?

The vaporized fuel is mixing with air and the charge mixture is as cool as it gets before ignition in the combustion chamber. Ever notice little droplets of moisture on the exterior of the carb body when humidity and heat is just right? The real overheated carbs usually occurs when the airflow (radiator fan wash) over the engine is limited or restricted (read stuck in traffic or participating in the 4th of July parade). Worst case is when you shut down the engine and the engine begins the process of trying to make everything in the engine bay the same temperature. Hot! The photos do show the hottest areas on the engine, exhaust area and the head. Without airflow and vaporization in the carbs they rapidly begin to heat up. So does the fuel in the fuel bowls.

No problem, just tighten it up. Wrong. With all my strength I can?t get the generator to do more than barely wiggle with the mounting bolts fully slackened. Thoughts on the best way to free up the generator?s up/down movement? I?ll probably need to file down the ears a bit to make for an easier fit.

I'll try to go back through the "Bounce" alerts I have received over the last few months--usually one every couple of weeks--and see if I can establish some commonality amongst them whether from the sender(s) or the server(s) or the subject(s) and report back. Obviously my message to the list got through as I received several "Welcome Back''s" along with messages from former regular posters Steve Byers and Gary Hodson that they are experiencing same or similar issues. Like Steve I have taken my business to the BCF and AHX fora but I miss the spontaneity and spirited exchange that this list offers--or offered. Maybe there is no free lunch but it was certainly good while it lasted. Miss you guys.... Best--Michael Oritt On Mon, Aug 20, 2018 at 12:53 PM, wrote: > I can only offer a clue.
