Well guys, I'd like to thank you all for your help, advise and ear bending through my 3 year restoration. She's done.
And to think it all started with a simple let's just block and sand her paint job. That's how it stated with me. While in the body shop, I found out about the BCF and became a member. Then it was, oh we should repair this while we're at it. Oh and let's correct this and that is wrong too. No good deed goes unpunished they say. So thanks to all my friends here on the BCF, for taking away my pain. My back pain, for my wallet does not put a strain on my back now that it's empty.
The next project..keep her on the road and as problem free as can be. I do plan on driving her every chance I get. She is not a trailer queen. More like a show car. Yes, as in I will show her everywhere I go. The supermarket, the beach, shopping and to the ATM for mad money (gas).
The more time I spend with my Healey, the more I find myself comfortable working on her. Well, with your help, thank you.
Any of us tune our own cars?
I've been told that synchronizing the carbs may be the hardest part?
I see products like a "Carburetor Synchronizer" and a "Synchrometer" in the usual catalogs.
I see a "Gunson's Colortune" too.
Being I am willing to throw myself under the bus yet again and take on a new learning curve, someone, anyone, Randy, talk me out of it.
I've got a lot of the tools on the peg board that I purchased during my restoration and they keep staring at me. Even though I hardly have any space left on that board, I know I can find room to put the new tools that I'll need. What, you think your done working on the Healey? Yeah, like, you think you have all the right tools and you don't need anymore? Photo of peg board attached.
Roger...that.
