[Healeys] webers

[Patrick and Caroline Quinn]

G'day Gary

Drop a note to Joe Armour who is on this list. He normally signs off with
just "Joe" A Blue One and a Red One.

The Blue One is a BJ8 and has triple Webers and the interesting thing about
the car is that it is not a replica. It is a Sebring 3000 that ran there in
1965. The Red One ran there too, but that had fuel injection.

I am sure once he rises for the day he will offer his advice.

I would like to hear from those of you who have installed triple  twin choke

side draft Webers (Model 45DCOE) on your big Healey  engines. I am
considering 
restoring my 3000 as a loose replica of a  Sebring racing Healey. I am not 
concerned about being historically accurate. The  engine would be prepared
for 
the street, probably as follows: bored .060"  over, under 10:1 compression
for 
premium pump gas, BJ8 cam or perhaps  slightly more duration. Exhaust
header. 
I will be using a BJ8 transmission &  overdrive. Also, stick rear Diff.
gears. 
 
I am interested in hearing if you have been able to successfully tune  the 
Webers for good street driveability (SP?). Also, what are your gas  mileage 
experiences when cruising along at 60-70 MPH.
Any other thoughts or suggestions on the subject?
Thanks,
Gary Hodson
