Austin Healey Restoration Guide by Roger Moment and Gary Anderson published
by Motorbooks. www.motorbooks.com but available all over. ISBN 0-7603-0673-7

Whatever else you get, also buy Norman Nock's Tech Tips and keep it current.
This a compendium of articles that he has published over the years and
continues to do so. - I usually order the new pages annually - one of my
January chores. www.britishcarspecialists.com


Try to find a workshop manual. There are several around -- appear on eBay
from time to time and the factory reprint is available from Moss
www.mossmotors.com 

Actually, the various publishers of workshop manuals, Glenns, Haynes, etc.
have books that are all basically the same but organized with their own
tweaks. Some have information the others do not, some have the same
information but different is a few details. All worked together are helpful.
These books are out of print and you will have to find them on eBay.

The parts catalog from Moss is good in that it generally shows the
installation sequence for parts.

Hey Folks,

So, since I'm still sitting here on my butt unable to spend as much
time in the garage as I'd like, I figured I could at least start
obtaining the necessary books, service manuals, parts catalogs and the
like for my Healey (1960 3000 MKI BT7). Now I worked in libraries for
years, and am a great lover of books, so I ave a really bad habit of
buying every book I can find. I'd like to ensure that I start with the
best, most accurate books possible. In my collection at present are
one book that I found in an old bookstore titled "Healey: The Hansome
Brute" which was a wonderful read, but not terribly useful fo
restoration. I also have an odd little green book titled "Healey
100/6, 3000 1956-68 Autobook" by Kenneth Ball that came with the
vehicle. Despite it's small size it has good information and some
beautiful exploded diagrams (which I belive is becoming a lost art in
automotive literature). I also have a bunch of catalogs from various
parts suppliers.
