I only have 670 miles on it so far. My fuel consumption seems exceptionally high. I have just checked on one fill up, and need to repeat to be more certain, but on the last tank I got an awful 10.1 miles to the Imperial Gallon (14.8 miles/US gal). I used to get about double that. I have checked the tune on the carbs using the usual method and checked it with a quick plug check (I have yet to do a proper plug chop), and if anything I think I am running a bit on the lean side. The exhaust seems good, just rich when the choke is on, however the engine does "hunt" a little when at idle. It runs beautifully otherwise. No fuel leaks at all.

Ethanol will marginally reduce gas mileage. Also, I run my tyres with 30lbs of pressure. I did a Google search on fuel consumption in Healeys and it seemed that it should be around 18-20 mpg (imperial), however a poster from Germany reported getting about 10.5 in the first 1000 miles after rebuild but after a few thousand miles and more carb tuning he about doubled it. Maybe I ought to be patient. I have been driving it gently, certainly for the first 500 miles. Perhaps I need to thrash it a bit! Mike ? do I have you permission? When I was 20 and had just bought it I could fill the tank with Esso Extra at the station where I worked for under $7 (cdn). I filled up yesterday with still a quarter of a tank left and it cost me $97+. Damn scary. I?m looking forward to more comments ? I still think it 10.1 is exceptionally low, even taking into account the rebuild.

Doubling the fuel consumption would necessarily entail an extremely rich mixture, assuming the fuel is not going somewhere else than the combustion chambers. An imperial gallon is approximately 20 percent larger than a US gallon so your conversion would seem to be backwards. Are you sure you were not measuring US gallons in which case your imperial mileage would be closer to 12 mpg. Still not good but more logical. At this point I would throw out the existing data and start over.

For break in I would drive the car at 40 to 50 mph on the Tamiami Trail with few stops for 40 miles. I had the speedo rebuilt for the next 500 miles and moved the needle to 60 mph. During these first trips, the fuel consumption was 12 mpg approximately. When I left Florida, I checked the fuel consumption, and it was between 14/15 mpg US Gallon with 2500 miles on the speedo. In owning this vehicle for 40 years never got much over 15 mpg on long trips. Nevertheless, will continue to watch the consumption next winter. Oh by the way, I use unleaded and no pinging.

I have checked the tune on the carbs using the usual method and checked it with a quick plug check (I have yet to do a proper plug chop), and if anything I think I am running a bit on the lean side. The exhaust seems good, just rich when the choke is on, however the engine does ?hunt? a little when at idle. It runs beautifully otherwise. No fuel leaks at all. My questions: 1) what are others getting for fuel consumption? And 2) any thoughts on how to improve it?

One sees so-called ?Chelsea Tractors? in the smarter areas of town which are mainly top of the range Range-Rovers that never leave town. So, these are basically a waste of space. In the country, one sees pickups which are, mostly, owned by farmers/timber people etc. Around here, Devon, you?ll often see them with sheep in the back! The other pickups around here are mostly owned by posers who don?t realize how silly they look. The response was that no one who did not have a business need for such a vehicle was permitted to own one. Any Brits out there who can vouch for this? * That?s not true. Nonsense, in fact. They are prohibitively taxed but ownership is not restricted. Of course, one might argue that said posers should be prohibited but that?s a whole other topic!

There's no 3 litre threshold, here at least; it just gets worse as the engine gets bigger. But, not all engines are treated the same....cars with identical sized engines get charged more or less depending on their pollution output. It gets worse......we have ULEZ areas in London. (Ultra Low Emission Zone). Cameras on the main roads leading into these zones scan one's plate and, if your car doesn't "pass", then it's ?12:50 per day!! Worst of all...TfL, (Transport for London) is extending the ULEZ in all directions and my daughter's house will now be inside the zone by +/- 150 yards. Her car will be fine, but my Seat diesel will fail by a mile. Maybe I can sneak in by side roads! Curiously, cars over 40 years old are tax exempt! On a rolling scale too!! So, if one's car reaches 40 on 1st April, then it becomes exempt. One is pleased but remains puzzled. Likewise, cars over 40 years old don't have to have an MOT. Ministry of Transport (test). Apparently, they say, owners of 40 year old+ cars can be trusted to ensure their cars are safe! That is crazy. Plenty of classic car owners wouldn't know a ring spanner from a hammer.

The BJ7 was officially introduced as "Sports Convertible". The factory hardtop made by Jensen was introduced with the 100-Six with BMC brochure no.1561, specifically for the BN4. The near-identical brochure no.1561/A was changed to read "3000" with the introduction of that model. The Warwick-designed hardtop, proudly wearing its Warwick castle enameled badge, was not an official BMC accessory for the convertibles, and the word "hardtop" was dropped from the BJ7 sales brochures' accessory list. They were much more difficult to obtain back then, than they are now. I've not seen a brochure for one, esp. from '62. Universal Laminations well-made hardtops were semi-official accessories for the 100, also available through the DHMC. I still hold out hope to one day see an example of the transparent plexiglass hardtop called "Pexidome" (no"L"), from the UK. Had a Messerschmitt once, the bubble top was fun. Geoff Healey's books are a great source of insider info, as are period publications like Motor Sport that feature factory tour articles. Australian Dr. Richard Calver has done painstaking research in Jensen's records and his 2007 book 'Jensen-All the Models' is a comprehensive year-by-year chronology of their production and vast sub-contract work.

You could not have walked into your local BMC dealer/distributor and ordered a BJ8 with a hardtop. However my understanding was that convertible hardtops were available from the DHMC and some 200 were made in period. If you wanted one on your car, than the soft top and mechanism had to be removed, as both the soft and hard tops could not be fitted at the same time. Of course many more have subsequently been made and attached is a photo of a BJ8 with one.

I have often wondered who made the convertible hardtops sold by the DHMC, but they were and still are few and far between. Back in 1975 Alan Jones and I were in Seattle staying with Dave Ramstad and one day we visited a sports car dealer in town. He took us into a storage area under the forecourt and there were hardtops stacked up everywhere. Plenty of hardtops for roadsters (100/6 to BT7 Mk2) and a single convertible version. He commented about the hardtops and while he knew what models they were for he wasn?t sure about the convertible top. He thought it was for an Austin-Healey, but wasn?t sure about the model. Alan then blurted out that it was one of 200 made for the convertible Austin-Healeys. You could see the dollar signs roll up in his eyes. No idea what happened to them all. The books of Richard Calver are highly recommended, especially 'Jensen-All the Models' which includes our BN3. His earlier tome is mind boggling as he lists every single Jensen car made from the 1920s through to when the company folded. I found the Jensen 541 delivered to Donald Healey without an engine after which DMH had a V8 fitted.

You could not have walked into your local BMC dealer/distributor and ordered a BJ8 with a hardtop. However my understanding was that convertible hardtops were available from the DHMC and some 200 were made in period. If you wanted one on your car, than the soft top and mechanism had to be removed, as both the soft and hard tops could not be fitted at the same time. Of course many more have subsequently been made and attached is a photo of a BJ8 with one.

Little or no room for error but you got it right and we lived to tell the tale. It is a strange thrill to put out of one's mind all responsibility or role save calling out the next instruction to a driver in whom I had complete confidence.

There are a gazillion cool things to do, one of which is the 911 Memorial--incredibly moving. The outdoor "pools" with the names of all who died are simply awesome and moved me to tears. The indoor museum is also great though the lettering on signage for the exhibits is very small, requiring one to be very close with everyone jockeying for position--and probably more contact/close proximity than is safe right now. Another cool place is The Cloisters, a medieval-styled museum/art gallery on the very north end of Manhattan Island.

A buddy of mine had a Bugeye sitting for years in his garage and offered to give it to me. Well, I had just bought one and no longer have the time or room for a parts car. So we contacted somebody I knew who might be able to evaluate its needs/worth in the event my son would be interested. Long story short the car was towed to his place and it was soon determined it was outside my son's interest and capabilities. So it was left where it was towed to to try and determine what to do with it. Well, things changed where it was stored and when I went in to have some work done on my Bugeye I walked around looking for this project and it was gone. I don't want to get into the details of the circumstances but simply state that I have no reason to believe anything nefarious occured, but that due to the changes in personnel it simply was lost. The owner, my friend, was going to give it to me anyway, so had no interest in it and simply shrugged it off, but I still feel weird as I told him to bring it there. Anyway, those details are not really relevant for my inquiry to the list as I thought, as a long shot, I would put the description out there to see if anybody knows of an acquisition of a project Bugeye. I want to be clear, I DO NOT think whoever has it did anything wrong, I am just really curious as to where it ended up. So, here is what it was: 195x Bugeye No doors, no windshield, crushed in rear deck, (supposedly)rebuilt 1275 and gearbox. Old, probably original white paint. usual rust. No drivable, but did roll. After cursory inspection, the engine did not turn over by hand No idea on the VIN. Would have been acquired from the New England area. -- Jim ???? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Whilst I have nothing but admiration for you and other suppliers, and your products (O.K. allow me to rephrase that..... SOME other suppliers!), by the time I've bought said item and shipped it up here to Canada, paid duty and taxes on the thing; the alternative prospect of making a cardboard pattern, then diving into my stock of sheet metal, plasma-cutting the outline and shaping it to fit at possibly a fraction of the cost - not to mention the delivery time - of one of your splendid products looks decidedly attractive. I'm somewhat fortunate in that my BJ8 only suffers from relatively minor rust and so patching is a viable option.

The only real damage was to the paint on the underside of the bonnet and a circular area on the left front wing, plus any plastic or rubber items in the left side of the engine bay (including those on my newly-rebuilt and just reinstalled carbs from Joe Curto). I was very lucky to have two fire extinguishers sitting on the ground next to the car. The paint was 20-years old, in lacquer, and otherwise still in excellent shape, but no one wants to paint with lacquer anymore. At first, given the insured value and the estimated cost to repair and repaint with a new modern paint job, Hagerty wanted to total the car. But they gave me a list of potential repair shops and agreed to allow me to negotiate with the restoration facility I chose, which agreed to keep the cost below the total mark. Hagerty paid the bill. I consider that Hagerty provided outstanding service, were most understanding of the situation and cooperative with me in saving the car. I also have my BJ8 insured with them. As a bonus, they also send me an excellent magazine every other month (part of the Hagerty Driver?s Club benefit).

You should get an estimate from one or more shops as to what it would cost. They will send an adjuster out, who will take a look at the car and the estimates. Then they will cut you a check based on their information and the estimate you provide. I found them matched the estimate from the shop I got the quote from. Take the money, and just do whatever work you can yourself and use the rest for the body shop. If you have anything left, buy a few rounds for the rest of the Healy people at the pub. No, my rates did not go up.On Wed, Jul 13, 2022, 2:28 PM Steven Kingsbury via Healeys wrote:I also have Hagerty and though I never put in a claim for work to be done, I did put in a claim for a complete loss. They were great to work with and no hassles. I would expect the same for you. Just be honest and let them know your plans. They understand people working on their own cars and they also understand your time is not "free".?To cover yourself, go to a local shop, explain your problem and get a ball park estimate. Relay that information to Hagerty. I have no real idea what they will say, but if my experience with them is relevant, they will work with you. Not, against you.Good luck and let us know what you find out and here's to quick and semi-painless recovery.Steven KingsburyBN1On Jul 13, 2022, at 10:18 AM, HealeyRick via Healeys wrote:Shroud appears undamaged, just the bonnet.Rick NevilleVirus-free. www.avast.comOn Wed, Jul 13, 2022 at 9:58 AM Bob Spidell wrote:I have a couple vehicles insured with Hagerty, but have never made a claim.

Keep the 15lb. caps on cars specified for their use (like most US) and don't let your 100 overheat due to poor cooling system maintainece. That should make up your mind Bob, as to which cap to use.

Why not? Car starts/runs better, you'll find something better to do than replace points--which start deteriorating on the first crank--and (suspect) condensers every few thousand miles, and the wiring changes are almost imperceptible. I've had as many as four cars--currently two Healeys--running Ignitors with nary an issue. I'm not critiquing here--I'm a firm believer in "It's your car, do what you want with it"--but lots of owners seem to lust for a Toyota gearbox, which definitely changes the 'Healey Experience,' so why not something that overall only makes the experience more pleasant (or less of a hassle, if you prefer)? My Moss catalog only shows 'copper stranded, black' or 'Lucas Bumblebee'--as offerings for secondary wire. I've never seen steel stranded wires, but suppressor wires are, I believe, usually fine steel wound 'round a carbon core (these are problematic if used with original-style distributor caps, which 'spear' the cable)*.? Steel is a reasonably good conductor--it's the earth/ground connection to your battery through the chassis--but not used AFAIK for secondary wires. Copper is, of course, an excellent conductor, but should be used with some impedance**, either in the plugs or their caps. You'll still get plenty of RFI; I used to tune my AM radio between stations and listen to the plugs fire and the fuel pump with points activate. * Wire-wound suppressor wires usually spec about 15 KOhms per foot. ** Spark is created by voltage, not current; static electricity, by definition, is very low current (see: lightning). Without some impedance you'll go through plugs in short order. bs On 7/21/2022 7:20 PM, Charlie Baldwin wrote: > What does the list recommend for replacement of ignition parts on a > very original 100-6? > > I looked at Moss' offering and they have steel core wire and Lucas > caps to snap onto the spark plugs.?

I get the same reading across the battery when the engine is running as when it's switched off. I looked in an old book of mine, written about the time our 3000s were built, and it suggested that a possible cause for no charge reaching the battery was that the earth strap was not connected or had degraded to nothing. Well, my strap is good and strong but, you may recall, that I had to remove and replace my gearbox.God knows how often. (Overdrive and dud replacement clutch kit) Did I replace the strap on the last occasion? I think so...But. Well, it occurred to me that, if I ran a stout wire from the alternator body to the battery's negative terminal, then that would act instead of the earth strap. I did that. Still no charge. It's my belief that running that wire along was an adequate test of earthing. Do you guys agree??

My steering wheel is in good condition except where wheel meets the wire. Most of the Bakelite?? Or what ever the material is has broken off the wires. I purchased a two-component epoxy sculpting clay in black. I have used it before to reconstruct, seal openings etc. Once the two components are mixed you can mold the clay does not get hard immediately. I believe I can fill in the in the voids and sculp the material to almost match the original mold. While the material should match the wheel, or I will rub in Jet black leather dye to obtain luster. So, what did you use in your restoration? The horn and housing on my wheel are in good condition and the Jet-black leather dye improved the surfaces so I could polish and buff to a nice luster. My horn and trafficator work well and looks great. Am not looking for concours perfection.

The two component stick is probably from the same manufacturer that made the stick my customer sold in the plumbing and electric industry fill the hole in the wall around the water pipe or conduit rather than mix a batch of mortar. Same as the sculpting clay. As my steering wheel is not in the poor condition shown or the one Roland described I will just fill in the cracks with black clay, smooth and paint the surface and polish. Then I will reinstall the 40-year-old leather wheel cover which has covered the cracks etc. quite well for all those years. When I am no longer around, one of my sons can buy a new steering wheel for my old girl. I want to thank both of you for the information How To as the information has given me ideas on how to make the repair better looking. I know that this group always knows where there are articles on How To restore and repair our Healeys. However, what happens when those articles disappear when the person who maintains the site passes. I am a member of the Catalina 28 Sailboat Ass which had 30 years of the members articles on Yahoo Groups when the provider decided not to support that part of their program. Fortunately, two of our members with TECH knowledge knew the site was going away and retrieved the data and moved it to @groups.io They organized the information in a great way so any of us can quickly access and down load it. It seems to me this group should consider consolidating their information to one site. What do you think? Maybe the new Healey Club of America site? It might outlast all of us!

I put maybe 40 or 50 hours of labor into restoring my wheel. I wouldn't have done it if there were an alternative. -Roland Virus-free. www.avast.com On Sun, Jul 24, 2022, 9:37 AM > wrote: Hi Roland: Now that my Healey is on the road again, I have been working on the interior of the car which is original and in great condition after applying polishing creams to the vinyl and other surfaces. My steering wheel is in good condition except where wheel meets the wire. Most of the Bakelite?? Or what ever the material is has broken off the wires. I purchased a two-component epoxy sculpting clay in black. I have used it before to reconstruct, seal openings etc. Once the two components are mixed you can mold the clay does not get hard immediately. I believe I can fill in the in the voids and sculp the material to almost match the original mold. While the material should match the wheel, or I will rub in Jet black leather dye to obtain luster. So, what did you use in your restoration? The horn and housing on my wheel are in good condition and the Jet-black leather dye improved the surfaces so I could polish and buff to a nice luster. My horn and trafficator work well and looks great. Am not looking for concours perfection.

It depends on your wheel. If it is an un- restored original then you could try soap, followed by various solvents carefully applied. If the wheel has been restored, that is, cracks repaired, etc.,and then painted, it depends on the paint what kind of cleaning it can stand. I used black automotive urethane and it holds up well, even to brake fluid. If the surface of your wheel has been altered and not just coated you will need to sand it smooth carefully. And then possibly paint it if it won't polish up. -Roland On Sun, Jul 24, 2022, 2:55 AM Paul Leeks > wrote: Hi all In the process of working on my 100/6, I seem to have contaminated the steering wheel with either oil or brake fluid from my hands.

Alternatives range from the shop manual's 'just use the two studs that hold the valve cover on' to my 'belt and suspenders - make up two brackets from angle steel that pick up as many good head studs at front and rear as possible'. I don't like relying on studs in tension but that is about all there is on the 4 cylinder engine. With the six you can make up brackets to pick several studs in shear. The shop manual approach uses the two weakest studs which might have been better when the engines and studs were new. If you are hanging engine and tranny that's a lot of weight for two threaded studs in tension. -Roland On Tue, Jul 26, 2022, 4:15 PM Michael MacLean wrote: > I have a cherry picker and a load leveler to lift the engine for my BN2. > What's the best way to attach the lift to the engine to install it in the > car? > Mike MacLean > _______________________________________________ > Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html > Suggested annual donation $12.75 > > Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys > http://autox.team.net/archive/healeys > > Healeys at autox.team.net > http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys > > Unsubscribe/Manage: > http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/sentenac.rw at gmail.com > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

That's a heavy engine and with the trans about 700-800, I believe. Use the "2 ton" setting for the lift and don't get under it. Like the safety strap that Steven used and could see it as just that. I have also done them with the trans attached and added an additional chain wrap for safety. Again the strap shown would not cause paint damage. Would love to come help...but.

It is much easier to have the assembled unit buttoned up to install, and yes, it takes some special finesse to slide the whole chunk into that minimum space, lift the rear of the trans with a rope, and then sigh a relief and have a beer. But then, its done. The other way, as you say, with multiple jacks and a sharp eye align the pilot hole which is a small target on a large hunk of cast iron, eventually getting it to go home, and then have a beer. The difference between the two methods, besides having a sturdy engine puller for the dropping in whole unit, is that by the second method, your beer might get warm.

If bent, it will affect gas pedal feel and, while the engine's out I recommend installing the teflon bushes on the shaft. If they've never been replaced they are almost certainly toast.

Front brakes . I bought 2 front brake calipers from Apple Hydraulics . Old ones beyond repairable. Now I?m replacing the brake rotors. Old ones very rusty. I can get from Moss a pkg they sell for $99 which includes 2 rotors, brake pads and shims . Other option is AH Spares. $133 for just 2 rotors, then another $50 for pads and shims . My past experience has not been that good with Moss quality. My experience with AHSpares has been the best . So should I spend the extra $$ and get the rotors that I know will work, or take another chance with Moss . I?m in no rush for the parts as I have other things I?m working on . My question is does anyone have prior experience with buying and installing the Moss . Rotors? Thanks as always.

The holes in question are 1/4" in diameter and are positioned 5.5" forward of the 5/16" diameter holes through which the threaded ends of the fuel tank straps pass. Obviously these holes are covered up by the fuel tank when viewed from above but are visible when looking at the underside of the trunk floor. Does anyone have any idea why these holes are in the in the trunk floor or what purpose they serve.
