[Healeys] Missing under Load

[Bob Spidell]

I bit the bullet and bought a spare Pertronix for the boot, and 
pre-fitted it with spade connectors as I did on the first one. 
Unfortunately, they made a design change so the engine will need to be 
re-timed if I install the spare.  Sooooooo ... I should probably carry 
my timing light, too (but plan on just 'ballparking' the timing in an 
emergency).

Sometimes I seems it would just be easier to throw a spare engine in the 
boot.
