[Healeys] Missfire/"Puffing" Continuing

[Roland Wilhelmy]

I'd have to agree with Alan, particularly if the car has reasonable
power, doesn't stumble upon acceleration, and doesn't overheat.  Maybe
Phil needs to listen to other people's Healeys a bit and decide.  A
slightly burbly exhaust note is part of the fun of having a Healey.
