Very funny!
Actually, I did have to pull the Webers off again. The accelerator jets were stopped up (couldn't get the thing to start so I knew I wasn't getting RAW gas in there). I blew out all the pump jets and was able to visually prove to myself that each barrel would shoot a four foot stream of liquid fuel. Replaced the twelve O-rings and mounted them back up.
Also had a couple of pipes bent so I can hang a pair of mufflers on it just to drive the two blocks to Tuffy.
Tonight I cut the holes in the collectors for the O2 sensor fittings (Miller 175 MIG arrived today). This weekend I'll have to get 230vac run into the garage so the exhaust can be temp'd up and then I can do a preliminary tune on the carbs to get it up to the muffler shop...
So Basil, when is the next time the site is going down? I'll be able to do another chunk of Healey work
Randy, you were more productive than I was. I got started making the new aluminum rear bulkhead on the Sprite, and mounted a couple of components. I'll bet you're done before I am!
And they say restoring cars are for retirees! Just think of the Healey's waiting in garages for people who say, "It's my retirement project." I admire both of you guys.
