Just wanted to share my adventure on the madien voyage of my 67 BJ8: Have been going to the Festival for 13yrs now. Took the Healey out after a 2 year restoration (Wife along) Ran like a top down the interstate 90 at 75MPH. Got to the hotel & wanted to go to dinner. Suprise no spark! (Thanks Lucas) Car had a new cap, rotor & Coil. Checked all out to no availe. Put the Pertronix system in in the parking lot. WOW! it ran for ----------- 1/4 mile then died in the dark of course. Flat bedded into town by a great shop "Wolf's Garage from Odessa, NY a real pro. Dropped it at, where else? Smalley's in the Glen. Still no luck. Could not get a cap & rotor locally but as all LBC Lovers are, we found a great guy to lend us a set. OK Set to GO! (about 1 mile up to the race track) the front wheel bearing crapped out. Supposedly checked out by a local shop who I will not mention in print. Back to Smalley's. He got a set of wheel bearings in that day & had me on the road. YES!
Went to dinner and started to pump oil out at a most alarming rate! OH, @#$%^&*X$%&! Enjoyed great dinner at the Stone Cate Cafe the proceeded to check it out. Nice LBC owners saw the predicament and drove my wife to get 12 quarts of oil so we could get back to town. Bingo! got the car back to Smalley's on Sunday. He, after working a 70+ hour week checked it out & ordered the parts for the broken oil line. I will pick up the car later this week. The moral of this long story is that when standed in the Finger Lakes/Watkins Glen area you can count on regular & professional folks to help you. No less than 6 people stopped when we were standed and asked to help. The flat bed hauler was a pro & very freindly, Smalley's Garage lived up to it's reputation as a class act for sports cars.
We still had a great time & met more wonderful LBC lovers.
Yep, we will be back next year & tow the Healey with the Triumph. (Just kidding) Happy Motoring to all!
