[Healeys] Ruddspeed

[Mark Donaldson]

Bob, Perry and Simon,

Back in the early eighties when Bill Bolton owned number 171 I took photos
of it at his Oregon home.

It definitely ran HD6s back then, as the photo below clearly shows.

I've seen it in recent years under different ownership. I was saddened at
what has been done to it.

Some of its history had been stripped away.

Perry, the L/H clearer picture certainly shows HD8's, but the other picture
looks more like HD6's.  The neck on the bell looks longer and the screw
fasteners have different spacing. The fuel supply is different also, not
that it would matter.

Cheers..Bob

Not sure about the original specs on the Rudd Speed manifolds as I can not
find an original advertisement or catalog. 

But notice the car below is using HD8 carbs.  Maybe the HD6 manifolds were
hogged out to fit the HD8's. 

This post will probably not make it to the Healey list as I am having
trouble posting there.

Hi,

Did Rudd do a 2"set of intake manifolds or were there only ever 1.75"?? May
be a set near me.
