[Healeys] Missfire/"Puffing" Continuing

[Alan Seigrist]

Phil -

Well I know this is or isn't what you want to hear, but, I have to
congratulate you!   You've completely tuned your car!

A little "puffing" out the exhaust at idle, if there's no missing, is
quite normal for a healey.

I'd suggest enjoy driving the car now!

Alan
