[Healeys] 100 ignition advance curve

Fri Apr 8 00:30:05 MDT 2022

Hi, new contributor here, thanks for your help.
Does anyone know where to find the BN1 Lucas distributor ignition advance curve ?
I have fitted a 123 distributor, which has a choice of several preset advance curves, I would like to know the original Lucas curve to set the 123 as close as possible to the original.
Thanks !
Francis THIBAUD

> You may recall my comments about the High Torque starter which would go zap and cause the entire electrical system to go dead. My two friends are much more knowledgeable than I and could not figure out why. Eventually I discovered if you take off the battery ground and leave it off for a few minutes, then reconnect, viola the electrical system comes alive again. The fuel pump hums, the lights go on, the horn blows. Unfortunately, when you engage the starter zap goes the starter. We took the starter off the car and bench tested it. We tested the positive cable from the battery solenoid, the ground, all connections and so on. Same problem.

Has anyone recently had machine shop work done on a 100 engine and could you let me know if what I paid seems reasonable? I've had work done at this particular shop and consider them the best around, so the quality of work isn't questioned. Keep in mind I supplied all parts (valves, springs, guides, cam bearings, freeze plugs, etc.). Also I delivered a disassembled engine, and I'm assembling the engine.
