[Healeys] air cleaners

[Mike]

Many moons ago, on another car, I happened to have the thermostat out, 
just to check.  There was something down the hole that didn't look 
right.  But it wouldn't come out.  The more I worked at it, the more it 
looked like it should be there, and at the same time, the more it looked 
like it shouldn't. Finally broke loose.  It was a brand new set of 
ignition points. Someone probably set it nearby, knocked it in, and 
looked all over for it.
