[Healeys] off by 3/16"

[warthodson at aol.com]

I assume the engine is attached to the motor mounts & they are attached to the
frame. If so, I don't think you have much freedom to move the engine fore &
aft, but you can try adjusting the transmission drag link to see if this
helps.  This happened to a friend & we attributed the problem to an
accumulation of tolerances because he has a new (reproduction frame). In his
case the motor mounts on the fame & the fire wall were closer together than
original by about 3/16". Do you have a new frame?

I'm at the point on my frame off rebuild of my 67-BJ8 that I have the motor
and
rans in and I'm now installing the carbs.I installed the throttle shaft into
he fire wall and then into the throttle bracket that mounts to the intake
anifold.My problem is the holes don't line up with holes in the intake
anifold,there off by 3/16".If the motor could move forward 3/16" they would
ine up.What am I seeing?
 Thanks List
