First time Healey Owner seeking tutorials and videos

Greetings all,
I was pointed this way from another forum and a man named Craig- so thank you Craig.
I'm a new Healey owner- picking it up on Tuesday. Just wanted to ask if anyone has any links to "beginner" videos about basic care, things to buy for a garage upkeep setup. I'm in Washington State and am fortunate to have an expert in town- I just want to be able to participate in the process of bringing this 100-6 up to speed and not just be the guy opening the wallet for someone else.
I have enjoyed the last months exploring all things Healey- I've wanted one since I was a teen.
I wish everyone well and look forward to hearing from all of you.
Doug

Welcome, Doug, and good luck with your new Healey! I'm not aware of any videos of the nature you seek, but for an all-around good guide to maintaining your car, I'd recommend Norman Nock's Tech Talk book: https://www.britishcarspecialists.com/publications.php You can also find lots of useful info on John Sims's website: http://www.healey6.com/ And, of course, you can always ask your questions on this forum.

Hi, and welcome! Healey6 is an excellent source for 100-6 info. Also check out Moss Motors videos. But most important, come on over to the Austin Healey forum, plenty of helpful and knowledgeable folks!

Doug, welcome, sounds like a great car and looks like you live in a gorgeous part of the world to drive.

As mentioned there are various sites and books and youtube is definitely your friend. Joining a club is another way to get advice (sometimes too much! and learn.

In terms of tools, it is amazing how much work you can do with the most basic of tools.

A set of wrenches/ a socket set (1/4 & 3/8) and common screwdrivers will cover probably 90% of what you want to do.
(If you don't have get good quality but all very reasonably priced)

Assuming you are starting from scratch here, you will eventually need a few special tools.

1. feeler gauges for valve adjustment
2. Posidrive screwdrivers (those screws on your SU carbs are not phillips though you can use phillips)
3. a dead blow hammer is the one suprise tool that I wouldn't be without (harbor freight)
4. Of course a good trouble light and a magnetic nut & bolt retriever (you'll need it I promise!)
5. A cheap (harbor Freight) multimeter and continuity tester.

After that, things like hub pullers and brake flaring tools and the like - while shiny are the sort of thing you can acquire or borrow as you need them.

I had many of the tools when I started - the legacy of a father who likes to tinker - and was not afraid of tinkering but, between this forum and other resources there isn't much I haven't tried or won't try - one step at a time!

Have fun
