[Healeys] Questions...

[jwhlyadv at aol.com]

I am getting ready to start work on Future Fifty Founder Ben Moores first  
Healey a fully restored BN6 that needs finishing details and a few repairs. 
I  have been on this list for fifteen years, read over 10,000 posts about 
tires but  I wasn't paying attention.......
 
First off we need tires. Currently the car is running JC Penny tires that  
must be twenty years old. Any suggestions for a modest priced tire? 
 
Second -  I need the number for the correct NAPA fuel pump.
 
Third - I need to replace rear axle seals. Moss lists the o-ring as fitting 
 BN4-BJ8. I thought the BN4-BN6 o-ring was different, is it?
 
Fourth - when you engage the Overdrive solenoid the noisy electric fuel  
pump drops in volume indicating a large current draw. The OD solenoid wires 
are  melted. Clubmembers all say he needs a new solenoid. Isn't this the 
adjustment  that is not letting the plunger travel all the way up to hit the 
switch?
 
Thanks!
