[Healeys] BT7 distributor condenser

[michael.salter at gmail.com]

Hi Ed,

The capacitance figure quoted by Lucas is 0.18 - 0.25 microfarads.

I don't recall ever having seen a voltage figure.

Gents,


 


What is the correct rating for the BT7 distributor (capacitor) -
µF and  withstand voltage?

Price, I’m promoting the Austin Healey 2017 Concours Guidelines today!  😀



 




See if this helps:




 







Windshield Washer Bottle 



100 




• Had no windshield washer as standard fitting though it was available as an accessory on late BN1s and all BN2s.




100 Six, 3000




Location: through the BJ7, the windshield washer bottle is mounted into the package tray inside the interior. These bottles and mountings are described in the interior section.





On BJ8s, with the revision of the interior to incorporate the walnut fascia and glove box, the bottle holding windshield washer liquid was moved to the engine compartment. On these cars, the
 bottle is made of white plastic with a plastic screw top. 



Bottle:

Longbridge BN4's used a Trafalgar glass bottle (17H579) (see Photos – Figure III-8 a- d); a
Tudor plastic bottle (37H9798) was introduced at Abingdon sometime prior to BN4 C. 68960 (this would have been before BN4 production was temporarily halted in spring1958). The Glass bottle (17H579) was also used on early BN6s up through C. 1182 (built
 in May ’58, according to Clausager). The BN4 Service Parts List shows another 1 1⁄2” neck diameter container (37H9763) followed by a 2 3/16” diameter neck one (37H9729) introduced when BN4 production resumed at C. 68960 (in Sept. 1958). This same wide-mouth
 bottle (37H9729) is also listed in the BN6 Service Parts List as being introduced at BN6/1183, which would have been built well before BN4 C. 68960, so it is not clear exactly what the differences between the first two plastic BN4 bottles was, and when they
 were used. 




25
On original BJ7s a metal squirrel cage has been found. On BJ8s, in 1964 and also later, white plastic squirrel cages have been found.





                               
A plastic bottle was used on non-BN4 six cylinder cars.




 




               
3000’s






               
On Phase I BJ8s the bottle is plain, with no logo/markings, and sits in a metal support frame painted black. Cast into the bottom of the
                    plastic bottle is the location of the “Tudor” company and other information.



               
On Phase II BJ8s there is a large trademark screened onto the side of the bottle, consisting of the word "Tudor" reversed out in white on a
                            distinctive bright blue background. (The Tudor trademark on these bottles definitely was not a separate decal.) The screened logo color
     may vary a bit between cars as a result of aging. On Phase II cars, the metal frame is a slightly different shape and is painted a shade of
                  blue which was a bit lighter than the Tudor trademark. There also was an evolution of bottle cap and outlet shapes (see Figure III-7a-e
    for examples and detailed descriptions). 




The 2017 Concours Guidelines are an incredible series of documents detailing how Big Healeys (and Sprites - separate document) were originally put together.  if you contact Mike Osipik (below)
 he will give you a couple options on receiving a copy of the Guidelines package. He can download it through DropBox (immediately available to you) or he can send you a CD. DropBox is very easy.

What is the proper color for the washer reservoir bracket on a 67 BJ8?  How many “Tudor” labels are attached to the reservoir?  Is there a specific height on the reservoir?



 




Many thanks!
