[Healeys] List wisdom

[David Nock]

We have been running into problems with the Ethanol in the gas causing Lack of power, Overheating, Missfires. Especially on the Tri carb motors.

Try installing Rich Needles. They will make up for the Ethanol which is causing a lean mixture.

Valve adjustment we use .015 cold with the Welch cams.

I have been experiencing less than stellar performance with my 100 Lemans and need to go back to basics.

What is the wisdom (I don't ask for consensus!) on appropriate needles for the carbs (HS6) and what spark plugs are folks favoring these days? 

Also what tappets clearances are folks used for a DW AL head in the "fast road" or stage 2 tune with DW tubular headers?  If it matters I have installed a Mallory MagLite distributor.
