Fuel injection pumps are very sensitive to dirt and moisture in the fuel and will get ruined very quickly if contaminated. These filters are much better than the ones for older carburettor fed cars (ceramic, metal or paper). Filters for diesel engines are often fitted together with a moisture separator which needs to be bled periodically to remove the water.

Midas ran and ad showing an old guy in a model T getting his muffler replaced with his lifetime muffler warranty. I figured what the hell? I am going to own this car for a lifetime. I still have it. They have replaced the muffler 4-5 times over the decades. When I was driving down to Conclave I blew out the inside baffles. So when I got home I calle dup the shop that had replaced the mufffler before. They are now called Midas, no muffler and they did not have a muffler guy anymore, nor did any shop withng 50 miles of my house. The local shop got a new manager who was sure he could take care of me. I showed un and he backed away from his offer. Today I got a buyout check for my warranty. I paid $45 then they sent me $350.00 today. They put me through 1.5 years of shit and I still had to hound them after I agreed to be bought out three months ago. Now I;ll have the headers I bought installed and glass packs. Here in Oregon it's still rainy and very cold, but I should be back on the road this spring.

Stainless Brake Lines In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <009501d93827$004ee230$00eca690$@sbcglobal.net> Michael, nice article. I put stainless steel lines on my 1962 BT7 in 2013. I made them myself and as you figured out the flares are extremely difficult to form without a high-quality flaring tool. Especially the bubble flares. It is also difficult to get a good seal to the cylinder. I used copper flare washers to solve that issue. I know a person that restores Jaguars. Instead of zinc plating he sends all the parts to a shop to have them cadmium plated. The parts that are normally zinc plated stay nice and shiny.

That should pretty well give you the value of the red one. As far as the yellow one, with this kind of modification, to the purist, it is worth very little but the reality is that it is worth what someone wants to pay for it.

There is so much to see such as Kees mentioned. In the week and a bit we were there just before Covid, I wore out a pair of shoes exploring the city as best we could. We certainly ate a lot, but with the amount of walking we did keep the waistline in check. Having said that about walking the Metro, trains and buses while hectic are all excellent and a lot of fun. Forget cars and soak in the amazing history.

Especially around Trevi Fountain. They are everywhere in Rome. Bands of gypsy?s prey on tourists. Not trying to scare you, but I?ve been there several times and you have to be vigilant. Keep valuables inside your shirt, not in your hip pocket. Wear pants with zipper pockets. Check out the link below or just google the subject.

Twice actually. Father in royal Navy. Interesting place?.lots to see. Very crowded place. Per square mile or whatever, the most heavily bombed place in WW2. Interestingly, the Maltese are mad about British classic cars. And ? I think ? there is or was a member of this group who lives there. Maybe he could stick his head over the parapet?? See:- The island with 30,000 classic cars ? and the people who own them (telegraph.co.uk) And:- HOME | classiccarsmalta Naples?.doubt your ship will go there! Per my previous. I went over there, from Malta, in my father?s ship. He was Captain so that was doable. Anyhow, while we were being wined and dined, the crew were ashore seeing the sights and sampling all the local attractions, if you know what I mean. I recall that the Officer of the Watch had to send a shore patrol into some dive aptly named ?The Snakepit?!! Some sailors had been ripped off and were kicking off, all fairly predictable. Shore patrol in UK terms is what I think the US called ?Snowdrops??..big guys, big boots, pickaxe handles and an attitude. I think they were told that Naples was more or less a frontier town and they could do what they liked?..go in, get out and if they broke a few local heads, well..never mind. I only heard about it third hand ? from Dad?s Leading Steward, I imagine ? anyhow, I was very impressed. You?re being deluged with info, a fair bit of it totally unrealistic. Anyhow, I?m sure you?ll have fun.

Just so you know, there are very few copies left at the present time and more copies have been ordered to be printed. We're pretty sure those will sell out quickly, so if you're so inclined, order soon.?This link works for United States ordering only, as we have no way of figuring out shipping costs for outside of the US. We're working on it.

Once you've done that, I can't think of an easy way to grab the stator, so you're better off just pulling the stator out at the box (i.e. 'by the book'). Two things cause the trafficator to rotate with the wheel: the stator isn't secured by the olive and nut at the box end, or one or both of the sections--long lower and short upper--are damaged somehow. They aren't technically connected, the short upper part slides inside the lower and has a dimple that fits in a slot in the lower. The slot is cut square and it often cracks at the end (it should be radiused IMO). When you get everything back together, presumably with a new stator, make sure there's a small gap--20 thou or so--between the trafficator and the hub so the hub doesn't drag the trafficator when you turn. Check first to see that it's not just a loose olive and nut; if so, it will likely leak quite a bit, but it's an easy fix.

If the stator is damaged AH Spares has replacements. After checking the position of the long stator groove and tightening the Olive nut, the other item to secure are the grub screws in the steering hub. Make sure they are in good condition and not stripped or too short to steady the trafficator disc. Ah!...threading the harness...a patience test. I have found the best way to fish it is with fish line and one inner metal sleeve (remove outer rubber) from a Lucas inline connector.Tighty tape and line up all of the bullets, single file, with the metal sleeve connected to the longest wire of the harness. Two people work best-wife at drivers seat to thread the harness (speak softly) and you at the bottom end to s-l-o-w-l-y pull the harness thru by the fishing line. When the clip shows carefully wiggle it out of the end of the stator, then pull the other wires slowly thru and unwrap. Thank the wife and you're ready to hook up the trafficator harness to the body harness. Keep the threading line and connector in a drawer for the next time the trafficator screws up.

The lower stator tube is out and as suspected the end that should engage with the trafficator was damaged beyond repair. I have ordered a new part. I wasn't able to remove the stator at the steering box end. The tube hit the shroud and I didn't want to loosen the steering column. I cut a 6" length of 3/8" redi rod and used it to push the tube towards the steering wheel and was able to remove it that way. The tip about using the 3/8" bolt to stop the fluid leaking out was a good one.

Fraid not! As far as I know there are four different castings for the C-Series (ignoring the MGC design). I am happy to be corrected. Namely:- The initial 2639cc casting that had a smooth sided crankcase and fitted as early as 1954 to Morris, Wolseley and Austin engine including one Austin-Healey - mine. This same casting was later fitted to the Longbridge built 100/6s. The second 2639cc casting with strengthening braces in the crankcase that were fitted to the Abingdon built 100/6 and the broad range of BMC saloons including the Westminster. The first 2912cc casting that was fitted to the 3000 as well as BMC six-cylinder saloons. At that time BMC six-cylinder saloons were also offered with 2,639cc powerplants. The second 2912cc casting as fitted to almost all the BJ8s. Such a casting was also fitted to BMC saloons. I am also ignoring the differing cylinder head designs, camshaft grinds, smaller capacity engines for sale in the French market and so on. If I wanted to build up a special road engine the starting point would to be sure that the engine is a 2912cc casting.

If you fit a high volume pump you will get a higher oil pressure and you have to reduce the oil pressure to standard by fitting a weaker spring or adjusting the spring tension if possible. Failing to do that may lead to the earlier mentioned damage to the cam wheel and perhaps some other parts.

I recently installed a new County oil pump in my AH 3000. The engine builder took the brand new pump apart to inspect and found a significant amount of flashing from the housing casting inside the pump. The pump housing was cleaned up with a small die grinder and reassembled. The flashing was both impeding flow and could have easily come loose at some point. Oil pressure on the finished engine is good. Whatever pump you buy, take it apart for inspection first.

There is actually no such thread as an AF thread. AF refers to Across the Flats and is measurement across the hexagonal nut and denotes the spanner (wrench) size. i.e. a 5/16" UNF bolt is 1/2" AF. There was a change made in the name of the thread form early in BN1 production from SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) some say (Standard American Engineers but are wrong) to UNF (Unified National Fine). SAE actually refers to the "Family" of threads which includes UNC and UNF. These threads have a thread angle of 60 degrees. The "F" and "C" refer to the pitch or threads per inch. For the most part the threads used on the brake lines of Healeys are 3/8" x 24. 3/8" diameter and 24 threads per inch. Whitworth refers to a different and older "family " of threads which have a 55 degree thread angle. I should mention that there were also some differences in the shapes used at the bases and peaks of these different thread forms which Google can help you with if you haven't already fallen asleep. Hope that doesn't serve to further muddy the waters.

THERE IS A LOT ON THE WEB ABOUT HYDRAULIC FITTINGS AND I SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE SPECIFIC-ITS ANF (American National Fine) but the AF(SB: AN) relates the hose sizes to SAE dimensions. The point I was trying to make is that there were two different fittings, and they are not compatible or interchangeable due to thread pitch and spacing. Hopes this helps clarify early hydraulics. Hank AN THREAD SIZES AN fittings range in size from -2 (dash two) to -32 in irregular steps that each equates to the outer diameter of the tubing. The outer diameter of the tube or hose that each fitting is to be used for is correlated with the inner diameter of the fitting itself.The table below lists the size specifications of AN fittings ranging from dash-two to dash-thirty-two, along with the corresponding SAE thread sizes. -----------------------------------------From: "Michael Salter" To: "Hank Leach" Cc: "healeys at autox.team.net" Sent: Saturday February 25 2023 9:49:03PM Subject: Re: [Healeys] 100 front brakes It's a bit more complicated than that. There is actually no such thread as an AF thread. AF refers to Across the Flats and is measurement across the hexagonal nut and denotes the spanner (wrench) size. i.e. a 5/16" UNF bolt is 1/2" AF. There was a change made in the name of the thread form early in BN1 production from SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) some say (Standard American Engineers but are wrong) to UNF (Unified National Fine). SAE actually refers to the "Family" of threads which includes UNC and UNF. These threads have a thread angle of 60 degrees. The "F" and "C" refer to the pitch or threads per inch. For the most part the threads used on the brake lines of Healeys are 3/8" x 24. 3/8" diameter and 24 threads per inch. Whitworth refers to a different and older "family " of threads which have a 55 degree thread angle. I should mention that there were also some differences in the shapes used at the bases and peaks of these different thread forms which Google can help you with if you haven't already fallen asleep. Hope that doesn't serve to further muddy the waters.

The early BN1 used AF type threads.(equivalent to a 1949 Chevrolet). All the later cars (and I do not know where the changeover was-maybe Michael does) had unified Girling threads. The lines should thread easily or else you have a different thread count and pitch. I don't think you will find the early type hoses from any supplier. They will have to be special made or found in NOS.

I understand that on all model Healeys the brake hoses have one threaded end and one flared end. That flare goes into the metal line nut. On the early 100 wheel cylinders they used an American AF thread but switched over to the Girling unified thread on later releases. The bleeder connection can be either in or out in shape (photo) but if the bleed screw is flat it uses the check ball (supplied in rebuild kits) and fits the recessed shape.

Rotary vane has better oil flow at lower rpms, gear pump works better at higher rpms. So for racing the gear pump is the way to go, but for normal driving around town and keeping the motor under 3,500 rpms for most of your driving, the rotary vane produces more oil flow.

What is critical is that the points in the solenoid are open when the overdrive is engaged. This is best checked by using an ammeter in series with the solenoid wire. There are 2 coils in the solenoid. One, the pull coil, draws something around 20 amps. The other, the hold coil, draws around 2 amps. When power is applied both coils are energized and the armature (plunger) inside the solenoid rises instantly under the influence of the magnetic field of the coils until it reaches the top of its stroke where it opens a set of points which interrupt the power supply to the pull coil. Once this happens the magnetic field of the hold coil, which remains energized, is sufficient to hold the armature at the top of its stroke and the points open. If the points do not open the current draw will be sufficient to overheat the solenoid and either melt the plastic plunger which is meant to open the points or burn the insulation from the coil windings within a fairly short time.
