[Healeys] Installing a rebuilt speedo

[Bob Begani]

So over the summer I had the speedo rebuilt by Nisongers. It looks brand
new and works.  First time in 15 years I have a speedo.  Although my
algorithm of add 15 mph to the tack number gets you the approximate speed
in 3rd gear over drive.  I am now trying to install the speedo permanently
into the dash and having problems remembering the wiring.  As there are 2
wires with a circular ground connection, I should attach one to each
holding spade? Has anyone got a picture or sketch of the back of the dash?



Also, I am trying to install Led lights. Which should I order from Moss?
The short ones?



Also, when ordering some parts from British Car Specialists I was speaking
with John and mentioned my overheating problems.  Besides the normal
suggestions, He mentioned the radiator cap has to be for a long neck
British radiator.  I when to my car and the radiator cap was a standard USA
Stant, so I ordered the one he suggested.  Yes, it is ¼ inch longer than
the stant and put it on the radiator and when for my 25 mile drive on
Tamiami Trail and back.  The water gauge went right up to 212 and then to
230, but, settled down to 212 for the rest of the trip without operating
the electric fan.  While driving at 30-40 through my neighborhood home with
the fan on the temperature stayed a little over 212 degrees.  Hopefully,
this temperature range with continue as I slowly get my Healey operating
well enough for longer trips.
