    Dead Dashboard

    HELP!!?? I'm not the brightest of mechanics, so please bear with me. I replaced the battery in my '66 BJ8, and started it up. She purrs like a kitten, BUT now all my dash witches (except for wipers) don't work, my tach is out. Naturally, I didn't drive it. I have never had this problem before...

    Austin Healey LEAD replacement in gasoline

    Hi ! I'm new to the Austin Healey scene :) So excuse me if I ask a 'stupid' question.. Here we go: I was wondering if you add a 'lead replacement product' to your gasoline when you fill your tank? I do it with my Triumph Spitfire, the engine benefits from it since in those days there was lead...

    Austin Healey 3000 BT7 1960 VIN chassis STAMP location

    Hi, I'm looking for the VIN number stamped in the chassis of my Austin Healey Mark 1 BT7 from 1960. I've looked on the right front shock mount where it's placed for later cars (BJ7/BJ8) but apparently this BT7 doesn't have that. So it should be somewhere else? Anyone have any idea? Perhaps it's...

    Big Healey Air Filters

    I have noticed that Big Healeys make a raspy air intake noise which I suspect is due to the sucking air through the "steel wool" stock air filters. I cleaned and refurbished mine but they don't seem very efficient to me and I really don't like the raspy noise. By way of comparison, Denis Welch...

    Intake Manifold Oddity

    My 1960 Series 1 3000 has three fixtures mounted atop the intake manifold. Their purpose is a mystery. Each of these fittings (see attached photo) plugs into the cast-in boss found on these manifolds between each of the three intake manifold entries to the head. I've seen pictures of these...

    Any Healey 3000 people in North Jersey/Poconos?

    I'm in the middle of restoring my MKII BT7. I've only really done body work so I'd love if someone in the area could offer me some advice. Also let me know if there are any clubs that meet in the area.
