[Healeys] 100 Block

[Patrick and Caroline Quinn]

Hello Rich

The block of the 2,660cc four-cylinder engine fitted to the Austin A90
Atlantic had just one distributor clamp retaining bolt.

I was looking at the block in both an Atlantic and in a 100 just the other
day and they both had the same block casting. If it's in a 100 it was
originally built for an Atlantic.

Perhaps it's an aftermarket replacement block and that's all they had at the
time.

Speaking of differences in Hundred engine blocks, I have a customer's
Hundred engine here that has only one distributor clamp mounting hole,
instead of the usual two. When looking at the distributor side of the engine
there is the hole for the distributor body and only one threaded hole
located just aft (to the left of) the distributor. Has anybody else seen
this arrangement?
