I'm not a concours winner--my car is a grizzled road warrior--but
some things stand out:<br>
<br>
Intake and exhaust manifolds should be painted engine color (exhaust
manifold paint largely burns off)<br>
<br>
Not sure what this means: "... replace fuel mesh from carb to carb
and then front carb to engine ..." (what's a mesh?), but the only
fuel filters on a BJ8 are the little, thimble-shaped fine screens on
the carb inlets (not visible)<br>
<br>
I've never seen adel clamps on a Healey that weren't
owner-installed. I bought my car at 64K miles, and it just had the
ubiquitous metal P-clip on the front choke cable bracket (might have
a rubber liner, though)<br>
<br>
Bumble bee ignition secondaries were only used on competition cars.
#1 and #5 wires had O-rings to group the wires. Never
seen that type of plug cap--with 'Champion'--on a stock car<br>
<br>
Servo vacuum line looks to have an inline check valve; original
Girling servos had one on the servo body only (new ones not
available AFAIK)<br>
<br>
Hood latch should have about a 3-inch rubber tube on the return
spring (can't tell what's there from the photo)<br>
<br>
Not sure what the purple wire coming through the firewall near the
voltage regulator is; think I see a blue crimp terminal on/near it<br>
<br>
AFAIK, no Healeys came from the factory with Texas Cooler fans<br>
<br>
<br>
Nice car.<br>

Thank you for the quick response, Michael. I have a number of
questions and will await the return of my toy (in about a week) to
go over them. I have the present Concours Guidelines and have
studied them extensively, along with Bill Piggotts book Factory
Original…, the (green) Shop Manuel and a restoration reference.
Do you recommend any other publications, sites, original
marketing lit that I should have and study? Would love to have
close ups of the BJ8 engine to compare. See, attached, my present
engine look (which I know I have to change: 1. paint heater
return pipe (completed since the picture), 2. replace fuel mesh
from carb to carb and then front carb to engine, 3. probably??
strip black paint off front choke wire bracket (there appears to
be a question as it was black for the BJ7, I believe and 4. change
out the ignition coil for original). Anything else that strikes
your imagination would be greatly appreciated. THANK YOU!!<img

enjoyers. I have a ’66 AH Mk III BJ8 Phase 2 and am on
the long road to a Concours judging. I was hoping one or
more of you have won a Concours level and would be kind
enough to share some close up pictures of your engine.
Any help would be appreciated and thank you in advance.
