From what I've seen, those tend to be expensive anywhere- specialty 907 Lotus aftermarket parts is a niche market at best. ...   06-19-2007 05:25 pm

Long gone, but it shouldn't be too difficult to find a reasonable used one. ...   06-13-2007 12:47 am

It's been a while since I've seen it. Someone has it, but I don't remember who. ...   06-07-2007 04:27 am

This is the first time I've heard about noise from the pads/calipers. Is your master cylinder and the rest of the brake system working properly? ...   06-05-2007 12:17 am

Did you coat the gaskets with oil before installing? To most people that sounds like opposite of what they think they should do, but the ...   06-04-2007 08:45 pm

I think the idea is- you get rear-ended, fuel sprays all over the place, lights up in a manner similar to the photo above, ...   05-25-2007 12:31 am

An important consideration to keep in mind- if you run the JE or CP very high compression pistons, you're lowering the valves to the top ...   05-21-2007 06:23 pm

I think this was the last guy that routed his fuel line to the air filters (or maybe it was the fuel line to the ...   05-16-2007 07:41 pm

The plug on the front should be metal, not plastic! The brass elbow at the back wil connect to the hose that runs to the ...   05-14-2007 04:50 am

Another club member has reported that problem a few weeks ago. Those come direct from Martin Robey in the UK, the people that own Jensen ...   05-11-2007 04:48 pm

I haven't seen that before, so I'd say it's not common, but owners do weird things all the time. The original mounting studs are almost ...   05-11-2007 04:39 pm

That's too bad, I've had good luck with the electronic ones. Did you try to repair the unit or know what caused the failure? ...   05-10-2007 04:19 pm

JHPS member Mark Rosenbaum did a great write up on the Stromberg 175CD's a while back, I need to dig that out. There's also an ...   05-10-2007 03:58 pm

2.5 - 3 pounds is recommended on Strombergs and Dellortos. The replacement SU pump with electronic head is a cool unit. ...   05-10-2007 03:53 pm

I've had that happen before- in that case it was a warning that the fuel pump was nearing the end of it's life. But as ...   05-09-2007 04:18 pm

Instructions for posting on this board are well documented and I think, easy to understand. If you're a club member, ads are free, if not ...   05-06-2007 11:42 pm

Just a reminder that folks looking to sell and find parts need to place an ad in the approriate section of this web site, the ...   05-04-2007 03:46 pm

I think Kurt's right. Those settings are for a high compression, big valve 2.2 liter engine that's pumping some goodly amount of air through the ...   05-03-2007 04:14 pm

I don't think a small amount would hurt, but the idea is unsound. The B12 is a "Gumout" style product, which often contain 80% or ...   05-01-2007 05:02 pm

The K&N filters we sell are made specifically for the Jensen Healey. They fit all Webers, 40mm Dellortos and 45mm Dellortos. If they don't fit ...   05-01-2007 04:25 pm

The o-ring on the bottom Stromberg float bowls fail on a regular basis, it's a lame design. New ones are cheap. Of course cranking the ...   04-25-2007 06:46 pm

Are you using dielectric grease on the connections? I've found that makes a huge difference in keeping everything working. ...   04-25-2007 06:43 pm

Sometimes it takes a while. I'd start bleeding the front driver side first. You may need to keep at a while to get all the ...   04-25-2007 06:41 pm

If you have a stock engine that's never been balanced then that would be a complete waste of time and money. It's quite surprising how ...   04-25-2007 06:35 pm

The distributor install can be a real annoyance and is indeed is one of the "black arts" on the Jensen Healey. I know it must ...   04-23-2007 04:58 pm

Sounds neat! Thanks for posting that Paul. I just live a few miles from there and I didn't even know about that- duh. Every Saturday? How ...   04-20-2007 05:46 pm

There actually isn't all that much under the dash that typically would come loose- my guess would be the so-called air vents in the firewall. ...   04-09-2007 11:25 pm

Thanks, Scott. I found that lean surge very frustrating when I was running Webers and could never get what I thought was a good combination ...   04-06-2007 05:37 pm

Hey Pete, on your Weber settings- I can see how wide open would not be a problem. How does it do run in the mid ...   04-06-2007 04:56 pm

I was eye balling it with a metal straight edge, not super accurate I know, but I was trying to see any minute difference. The ...   04-02-2007 04:02 pm

You can do that, but to get it spot on, you would need the later style adjustable pulleys- converting means changing all pulleys and using ...   03-30-2007 04:09 pm

Your clearance will tighten over time, always best to be on the high side. In the dealer days, I've heard that mechanics would often shim ...   03-22-2007 03:48 pm

Changing the engine geometery is not an ideal fix, but it's certainly a cheap fix considering the alternatives. ...   03-16-2007 05:23 pm

This topic comes up fairly often. Although not recommended, shims do come up to .150" and owners have used them without problems from what I've ...   03-16-2007 03:59 pm

Hmmm, that is a bit of a problem. Ideally, you would get your trusty machine shop doing your vavle job to check the length of ...   03-15-2007 06:08 pm

I'd say it's worthwhile. A header is always an improvement over the cast iron manifold that the late cars came with. You didn't say who ...   03-05-2007 10:10 pm

That's a very common problem. Those original mesh screens usually just fall apart after time, yours sounds like someone messed around with it previously and ...   03-01-2007 04:14 pm
