[Healeys] Running Pretty Rich

[Dave Porter]

For ~$329 you can add a real time meter to measure air fuel ratios
WWW.ngksparkplugs.com   with the AFX Monitor or (drum roll please)  one can
for FREE unscrew their spark plugs and look at the color and condition of
the plugs. Many after market car manuals have a page of pictures that
describe all sorts of maladies based on spark plug appearances.. just saying
that more than one way to skin a cat.

Not experienced with the dip tubes, but I would say put it it like it  
was.  And if you do not have access to a gas analyzer, get one.  They  
are the most accurate for achieving stoichiometry.  Using the manual  
and the rule of thumbs will get you real close.
