It's just a Hall Effect sensor and a power transistor AFAIK.? I'll take a SWAG, but I haven't tried this myself: The original Ignitor was essentially electronic points; i.e. a switch.? IIRC, the module has two leads going to it; Pertronix has simple schematics on their site.? One of the leads is power-- (-) for a pos. gnd. version--and the other is the lead to the coil primary.? If you put the distributor in a vice, grounded the distributor case to a power source, wired a light bulb or voltmeter to the Ignitor output lead and grounded it to the power source, applied power to the power lead and rotated the distributor the light (or voltmeter) would register current flowing or not as you rotate Make sure you have some sort of load--bulb or voltmeter--on the Ignitor output at all times; else you have a dead short which could damage the Ignitor.? I think Pertronix specifies a minimun load of an ohm or two for Ignitor ones. Bob On 4/30/2019 4:21 PM, simon.lachlan at alexarevel.plus.com wrote: > > You may have read my mail about coils.

The owner contacted "Ragtops and Roadsters" in PA., who did the body work on the Healey in the 90's. they're getting some information together for me, and also said if I send them some pictures, they will put it on the internet for me..... Can't find anything current on John Davies, who did engine work, on the car, yet.... as I said... he Could Be Dead.... he wasn't a Spring Chicken, then! In addition, she remembered that once the car was finished in the 90's the car was entered and won a trophy: Buckingham Concourse de Elegance", in Bucks County, PA. and many other places. Jack loved to show the car. I suggested that she contact them to get information about the award. Jack always won best of show or best of class in local shows in PA and in and around SW Florida. But, they threw away all that stuff. He had the car detailed and showed it at the local car show and won a trophy as usual 6 weeks ago before passing away. I borough my friend Hermann over to view the car because he has extensive experience with Concours Shows. In accordance with their rating system and Haggarty, He rates the car as 2 Minus because of a few small chips outside surfaces, rust on inside bumpers and few small chips and rust inside the engine compartment. Also, Non original steering wheel which was replaced a few years ago. She will look around their many storage units to see if they still have the original. Hermann indicates it is an older restoration, however, was hardly driven and, obviously garage kept. It is a great car to take to shows after having taken care of the imperfections. For the guy who wants to win trophies. Bob Begani BJ8 67 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

It?s not like a new car but it?s pretty good. I tried the magnets but had little luck so I went to the 250-4165 signal generator which really improved performance. I also installed the 250-3592 switch in the ashtray. I used two relays. One for the engagement light and a second for the brake lights. As for the settings, I started with 2&8 on with the rest off.

Honing any aluminium cylinder removes the hard anodizing. The aluminium is very soft on its own, and wear is dramatic. Brake fluid turns black, and it leaks. The only way to "fix" a worn aluminium cylinder is to get it stainless steel sleeved. Then it will practically last forever.

If not removed, the plate WILL either partially or totally disappear in hot tank chemicals.

My conclusion is that the VIN plate is not original, but a reproduction. >From photos of the engine serial number plate in an earlier ad, I can tell that the engine plate is also a reproduction -- the letters and numbers are stamped into the plate from above, rather than from below as original. That means that there is no way at all that anyone can be sure the engine is still original to that car. The car is stated to have been restored by Tom Rocke. For what it's worth, I've seen a whole lot of cars from well-known restorers and offered for sky-high amounts where their identity and integrity are questionable, even though they may be beautiful.

If it's the Spiral Bevel rear end, then the standard 3.54 rear end conversion *will not work*. These will only work on the later BN1s with the Hypoid Bevel rear end starting at chassis no. 221536 in Nov. '54. That being said, maybe there is a lower gear option for the Spiral Bevel unit, but if there is, I'm not aware of who might supply it. BTW, my shop here in San Diego installed my Lempert 3.54 rear-end, and of course rebuilt the whole unit while they had the thing apart. Fortunately, the shop had done a number of Healey conversions and was very familiar with the process. BTW, I have one of the very early BN1 Hypoid rear end units with the filler plug on the carrier versus on the top of the pumpkin as on the later cars, but there was no problem. Anyone interested, I have an spare original 3.54 rear end that I picked up 20 years ago in Australia from my friend Rob Rowland at the Healey Factory. If interested, send me an email.

Do like the way he routed and secured the braided fuel line from the shroud to the carbs on the BJ8.?? I've always wondered what to do with that line; I believe it's supposed to go in front of the carb above the fuel filter, but mine rubbed against the bonnet--I think that particular line was a bit too long--so I routed behind the carb.?

Mine is from an Austin Atlantic convertible, the fixed head used a different ratio. This was an available option for the BN1 and was supplied with a 140MPH speedometer. With the 28% overdrive it is an ideal combination for modern roads providing 70 MPH cruising at under 3000 RPM.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: I'm sure that would work to some extent Bob but as you would effectively be raising the pivot point of the upper arm rather than moving it inward the actual change would be rather slight and would change the geometry and probably result in an undesirable camber change throughout the suspension travel. I would be more inclined to thoroughly investigate the real problem and try to correct that. One important "datum" point is that the shock mounting surfaces should be level with each other and a specific distance apart which, with the shocks removed, is easily checked with a level and straight edge. My bet is that you will find that one or both of yours slope outward, often caused by drifting into a kerb(s). We used to have a 6' length of 2" pipe welded to a plate which could be bolted to the shock mount (it also had a hook which engaged under the flange of the X member) and we used this primative device to bend the the X member to the correct position. If the shock plates were too close together we could use a jack to move the offending plate outward but of course the engine had to be removed for that. It was amazing effective.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <095e01d50991$7cac6b40$760541c0$@rr.com> While running a rallye in my BJ8 in 2002, I had the misfortune of hitting an unexpected pothole which caused the left front shock to tear away from its mount on three sides. The mount had already been weakened by too many years (pre-Allen Hendrix) of driving with out-of-balance tires that cracked the mount in multiple places under the shock. Those cracks had been repaired by welding up the cracks. The damage from the pothole was repaired -- not a really pretty repair, since the shock now has those U-shaped shims under the outboard bolt holes. However, the alignment is spot-on (judging from the handling and no excessive wear on the tires), and nothing has happened to the shock ears in almost 70,000 miles since then.

I lucked out and found (only one!) welding shop open at 5:00 pm on Saturday and just 5 miles down the road from where the hotel was. He tacked it all together enough to get me home and I later had a welder come to my house and finish the job.....it lasted until I got to Gatlinburg.

I did it to the foams I used in my 100 for 13 years and they were about as comfortable as they could be. I had Heritage rebuild my seats with new everything and it feels as if they also drilled the foams, although i'm not sure. They covered the bottoms of the seat cushions with fabric so I can't see them, but just poking around it feels as if there are holes.

If you are driving your Healey pretty regular they usually will not need the fuel system flushed. The Ethanol in the fuel does a really good job of keeping the system clean. If the car sits for long period of times I would put a fuel stabalizer in the tank. Most of your fuels today have a shelf life of less that 30 days before it starts degrading. We use the Driven Oils fuel additives if needed. Either the Carb Defender or Defender Plus fuel additives These additives will also help your small gas engines on things like lawnmowers and chainsaws. https://www.drivenracingoil.com/fuel-oil-additives.html David Nock healeydoc at sbcglobal.net 209 948 8767 www.britishcarspecialists.com Help us have our Founder Norman Nock inducteed into the British Sportscar Hall of Fame, You can vote for your favorites by visiting the site at. www.britishsportscarhall.org From: Keith Pennell via Healeys Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2019 8:05 AM To: healeys at autox.team.net Subject: [Healeys] Fuel additive Hi Folks Anyone have a favorite readily available additive for the fuel system?

Lister Chris Dimmock was kind enough to send me one of the adjustable timing sets that his local (to Australia) club was offering: According to my engine builder, he needed to 'adjust' the timing by about 4deg in order to get the proper lift(s) spec'd for the DWR1 cam (no dyno'ing or road tests involved).? I was surprised that the cam was that far 'off,' meaning if you installed a fixed timing set you might have degraded performance.? I have no reason to doubt the builder, he is extremely meticulous and diligent (and happens to be a Kiwi and licensed airplane mechanic).

But, I've been working on linkage issues and taking the "slop" out of the Heath Robinson contraption that one calls the accelerator linkage. The bush in the P-clip on the pedal rod (inside the car) was 100% knackered as was the one where the rod emerged into the engine compartment. The parts book showed felt pads and God know what but mine just had bronze bushes sitting in a crumbling mess of tarry old rubber. I'd guess that the rods didn't rotate in the bushes but that the bushes moved in the crumbled mess. ie a lot of "slop". You could have a look at that. I doubt that's your answer but could be a contributing factor. Replacing the bronze and mess with the new nylon/rubber bushes did make a difference. Good luck anyhow.

The linkage as originally designed requires some "free play" in it. I would begin by disconnecting both carbs from the linkage & verify that the throttle shafts & "butterfly damper" will go completely & freely closed. Make sure the throttle shafts are not being held slightly open by one of the adjustment screws (some people call them "Idle screws") on the Carb. Verify that the valves & timing are correctly adjusted. Adjust the carbs individually while they are not connected to the linkage as described in the shop manual. HD8 carbs are notorious for being difficult to properly adjust. Some people adjust the idle as described in the manual & others swear that the idle circuit does not work correctly on (2) HD8's. You are on your own in determining what works for you.?Make sure the overdrive lever on the throttle linkage near the firewall has the specified clearance as described in the shop manual.Good luck,Gary Hodson | | Virus-free. www.avg.com | On Sun, May 19, 2019 at 11:36 AM Dr C A Rubino wrote: Recently the the relay shaft nylon bracket broke (old age) replaced it with a new one.

I agree with Jean, that Healey prices seem to be softening and the BJ8s are, outside of the Ms and Ss, still leading the pack. Compare this one at Sotheby's already bid to $75k with two days left for an older restoration: https://www.sothebys.com/buy/c28f2f2c-d1d4-43c1-951a-a7b8f6801c45 I wonder if the BN7 would've fetched a higher price if it had already been judged Concours Gold, which it looks like it may have easily reached?

The stamping is a bit messed up, but it appears the axle housing was manufactured before the BN2s came out, and so was intended for a BN1 (I read it as BN1 4638). BJ8 rear axles (some of them) have a serial number on the axle housing that looks much like your photo, except the serial number is not preceded by "BJ8". The number to the right (10/41) is the rear axle gear ratio: 10 pinion teeth to 41 crown wheel teeth gives ratio (usually taken as 41/10) of 4.10 Steve Byers HBJ8L/36666 BJ8 Registry AHCA Delegate at Large Havelock, NC TARHEELY license plate From: Healeys [mailto:healeys-bounces at autox.team.net] On Behalf Of Michael MacLean Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2019 2:43 AM To: Healeys Subject: [Healeys] Diff Numbers Can anyone decipher these numbers on my BN2 rear axle?

During production the starters were assembled to the engines before they were painted so the mounting surfaces were probably bare metal. In restoration we tend to paint everything as it is rebuilt, so there was probably a lot more paint between the mounting surfaces than they originally came with.

I made a replacement gasket out of sheet rubber about 6" square which I purchased at Lowes--I am not with the car right now but am guessing that the material is about 1/8" thick. I carefully cut out the center removable portion (the hole in the doughnut) and the OD incrementally leaving as much material as possible to give a tight seal. It works fine and I no longer smell gas fumes, even with a full tank. I have a second cap onto which I had a short section of copper pipe brazed and want to try venting the tank and any fumes overboard, perhaps via a piece of hose out the opening for the right bumper bracket and into the slipstream.

Ideas? Ok, I'm out of ideas. Requesting new ones. I have a Craftsman walk-behind mower with a 163cc Briggs & Stratton 4-stroke engine ( engine: 104m02-0008-f1 to be precise ). It's only 3 or 4 years old, but it will not run. And it's starting to piss me off. It starts normally ( no manual prime or choke, so it takes ~3 pulls but it always has ), and runs fine for less than 5 minutes. After that, it surges rhythmically and after a minute or so of that, dies. Following that, it will not re-start until allowed to rest for a few minutes. I have installed a new plug, new air filter, new carburetor, and new ignitor. I checked and set the gap on the plug and the ignitor to spec ( .030" and .006-.014" respectively ). Has clean oil, and brand new gas. Fuel screen in the tank is clean, as is the fuel hose to the carb. Carb bowl has fuel. What else can be wrong with it? It seems to be heat-related, but it has no cooling system. Thanks. Obligatory Shop Content: I can't work on anything interesting until this damn mower runs. -- David Hillman _______________________________________________ Shop-talk at autox.team.net Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $12.96 Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/shop-talk http://autox.team.net/archive Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/shop-talk/alfuller194 at gmail.com From bspidell at comcast.net Thu May 23 18:04:13 2019 From: bspidell at comcast.net (Bob Spidell) Date: Thu, 23 May 2019 17:04:13 -0700 Subject: [Healeys] fuel sending unit gasket In-Reply-To: <1381869785.6794166.1558629980436@mail.yahoo.com> References: <710d5a77-0508-3df4-5475-3ec22be27b0a@comcast.net> <004f01d51182$15a3ba90$40eb2fb0$@alexarevel.plus.com> <1381869785.6794166.1558629980436@mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <80e2541e-9507-2a10-8203-fc067621ce63@comcast.net> FWIW, the viton gaskets didn't work for me; cork with a sealant did.

I carefully cut out the center removable portion (the hole in the doughnut) and the OD incrementally leaving as much material as possible to give a tight seal. It works fine and I no longer smell gas fumes, even with a full tank.

The tank was made by an Ebay seller called Angelheartpancho. He is actually local to the San Diego area, so I had him make me a 100-4 gas tank in aluminum for a fraction of the one Moss sells.. I recently obtained two tank retaining straps from Kilmartin in Australia. I don't know if the straps are too short or the tank is too big. I have tried bending them to shape, but one side just won't go into the hole at the rear. Too short! Can someone give me the measurements of their 100-4 gas tank? I'd like to compare. Also, I was given an original gas cap in pretty good shape. I would love to use it except for the fact the gasket inside is in pretty bad shape. I can already smell the gas fumes in the future. None of the usual suspects have replacement gasket seals. Has anyone made one before? What material did you use?

I think I was confusing information about banjo fittings on new SU fuel pumps. See attached article by Dave DuBois.? However, I stand by my statement that "If you have the correct gaskets & it is still leaking, something else is the reason". I do not believe sealant is required for this application.? I did some more "research" on the SU carb banjo fittings & made an interesting discovery which may apply to the leaking fittings mentioned in the original inquiry.The banjo fitting has one side that has a recess machined into the surface that mates with the head of the banjo bolt. The ID of the recess measures .882" +/-.?I have 4 gaskets (#12-1829 from Victoria British) that measure .891" +/- OD. They will not fit into the recess. If they were jammed into the recess by trying to tighten the bolt, they might not be sealing correctly. I also have one gasket that measures .870" +/- OD & it fits nicely into the recess. I do not know where I got it but it has part number AUC2141 on the bag.?If someone has an unused Moss #370-650 gasket they might share the OD measurement with us.

The fan is drawing a lot of amps which will result in a negative charge hence the ign. light is coming on, probably only when idling. Before you most likely had the fan wired directly from the main circuit in series with the Amp. meter and not through the ignition circuit so the light might not show. You could operating the fan using a relay switched on by the under dash switch but getting the main current from the battery. It will not solve the negative charge but it may avoid the light coming on. Perhaps the fan is a bit to powerful and drawing more Amps than necessary. However the fan is only on for a very short while unless in prolonged very heavy traffic and on long and slow steep inclines The best way is to revert to the old situation with the thermo-switch (wired through the ignition circuit and use the manual switch as an override switch so when you switch of the ignition the fan will not work. These should switch a relay with the main current coming directly from the main circuit with the Ampmeter Use a thermo-switch tot cuts in at say 90-95?C and cuts out at about 5-10?C over the opening temperature of the thermostat.

The ignition switch is not fuse protected so by using that as a source you do run a risk of "letting the smoke out" should a short to ground occur in your fan system. You may find that the electrical demands of your fan are more than the fuses can handle as the system was not designed with heavy continuous loads in mind.

The ignition switch is not fuse protected so by using that as a source you do run a risk of "letting the smoke out" should a short to ground occur in your fan system. You may find that the electrical demands of your fan are more than the fuses can handle as the system was not designed with heavy continuous loads in mind. To circumvent that issue you could use the unfused side of the "ignition switched" section of the fuse block as the source and install an "in line" fuse to protect the fan circuit. I cannot overemphasize the importance of protecting the fan circuit with a fuse, it very easy to damage a wiring harness and replacing one is a major undertaking.

I've also read the using an LED is somewhere between ineffective and dangerous, but I used an LED for the ignition light and it functioned just like a bulb for years.? I did, however, heed the warnings and put a bulb back in that circuit.

The 1/2" inch foam seal would not compress one bit, making the tank sit too high. At the same time, I bought a 6" square of 3/32" neoprene rubber and cut a gasket to fit from that. Both problems solved with the help of gentleman on the list like you guys. Thanks.

I carefully cut out the center removable portion (the hole in the doughnut) and the OD incrementally leaving as much material as possible to give a tight seal. It works fine and I no longer smell gas fumes, even with a full tank. I have a second cap onto which I had a short section of copper pipe brazed and want to try venting the tank and any fumes overboard, perhaps via a piece of hose out the opening for the right bumper bracket and into the slipstream.

The tank was made by an Ebay seller called Angelheartpancho. He is actually local to the San Diego area, so I had him make me a 100-4 gas tank in aluminum for a fraction of the one Moss sells.. I recently obtained two tank retaining straps from Kilmartin in Australia. I don't know if the straps are too short or the tank is too big. I have tried bending them to shape, but one side just won't go into the hole at the rear. Too short! Can someone give me the measurements of their 100-4 gas tank? I'd like to compare. Also, I was given an original gas cap in pretty good shape. I would love to use it except for the fact the gasket inside is in pretty bad shape. I can already smell the gas fumes in the future. None of the usual suspects have replacement gasket seals. Has anyone made one before? What material did you use?

I had to do that again for another reason and then I had some difficulty. I used a probe that fit closely through the holes and used that to lever the engine to line up a bolt, installed that, and then repeated the process for the other bolts. Don't tighten any of them down until all are installed.
