I fail to see how this is a good HP/buck value.  The 907 suffers from short stroke, low compression and mild cams as well as carburetion. ...   12-07-2010 04:11 pm

Oh, you mean the 8.5 compression, stock cams, short stroke crank and the ZS carbs? Yeah, that system will slow you down! ;-) ...   12-01-2010 11:55 pm

How does the carbon canister slow you down? The unit absorbs fuel vapors and burns them next time you start the car. ...   12-01-2010 12:39 am

Sorry! The factory used 80/90 wt. I use grease because I have a grease fitting. I don't think it matters as long as there's something in ...   11-24-2010 04:57 am

Yes.   ...   11-23-2010 07:24 pm

Wow! Looks like a great time. Hopefully I'll see you guys at next years West Coast Nationals in LA! Kurt ...   11-07-2010 03:47 am

Begin rant: The operative word is "silicone". The basic Fram is about the worst filter made. Even their website promotes their high mileage filter as 25 ...   11-06-2010 07:39 pm

No problems buying it here. The VR1 states on the back of the container "for high performance passenger cars and race cars." If they don't want ...   11-06-2010 04:34 pm

Hi Mitch, What oil filter are you using? A high quality filter with a silicone anti-drain back valve can help retain oil in the gallery. ...   11-06-2010 04:27 pm

Your oil pressure is normal for a worn 907. If it doesn't go below 10 lbs you should be fine. Loss of oil pressure could be related ...   11-05-2010 12:08 am

Hi Phil, After further reading, I can't recommend trying to formulate your own brew. Oil engineers spend their careers doing this. Since too much ZDDP can ...   11-04-2010 07:54 pm

Hi Phil, ZDDP is zinc and phosphorus that prevents metal to metal contact. It smears on the surfaces just as the oil shears. Oil has ...   11-04-2010 01:33 am

The stock JH is a torqueless wonder. The short stroke motor is more suited for high rpm use as Lotus intended. It costs a bit of money ...   11-03-2010 06:01 pm

The Accuspark is similar to the Pertronix. They are "Hall effect" triggers. The location of the hole in the mounting plate is critical. The Pertronix ...   10-31-2010 02:24 am

Well, I guess that's a clue! The originals are also bolt-on and IIRC were Dunlops. Have fun! I'll let you know when I'm headed your way in ...   10-28-2010 12:48 am

Dear Greg, Thank you for enriching my Jensen Healey experience. Your club is a constant source of contact and camaraderie with the JH owners of the world. The ...   10-26-2010 05:35 am

Those wire wheels were a factory option. Sort of rare and certainly cool looking. Kurt ...   10-21-2010 11:38 pm

Hi Ron, Welcome! Please let us know how it works when you get it installed. I've heard rumors that certain Volvo MC's fit also. Kurt ...   10-21-2010 03:07 pm

Hi Pete, I put the question mark in there to indicate that the Healeys probably got nauga hides instead of leather. My car came with ...   10-19-2010 04:34 am

The wire from the ignition switch. It's white and goes through the tachometer and then to the ballast resistor. On some later cars the wire ...   10-18-2010 02:37 am

Remove all wires from coil. Find the switched hot wire and put it on the + side. put the red wire from the Pertronix on ...   10-17-2010 10:42 pm

The Pertronix is just a switch. The hot 12 volts goes through the red Pertronix wire from the hot side of the coil. The magnetic ...   10-17-2010 08:39 pm

If that wire with the red tape is the hot, connect it directly to the red Pertronix wire. Edit: sorry, connect both the hot and the ...   10-17-2010 08:28 pm

Take the white with slate wire off the negative terminal. It provides 12 volts during cranking coming from the starter. It should connect to the ...   10-17-2010 08:26 pm

First of all, did you buy a new rotor? ...   10-17-2010 07:54 pm

Success! After loosening the steering rack from the sub-frame I removed the old lower steering knuckle. It had a small bit of play when moved by ...   10-16-2010 04:55 am

Hi Gus, I sent you a message. I am now 90% sure the '75 to '79 MG Midget springs won't fit. My local parts house (now owned by ...   10-14-2010 07:10 pm

So you have some springs to compare to? The springs I'm using were rusty but cleaned up well on the wire wheel. Kurt Several thoughts: There must be ...   10-13-2010 10:51 pm

I think this is the Huffaker car that won the SCCA D class in '74. Not surprising when you watch him pass everything in sight! ...   10-13-2010 12:56 am

Which springs are you missing? I have a Lockheed setup on the bench. I could take the springs to my parts house and try to ...   10-12-2010 03:22 pm

Get the Pertronix. The 123 doesn't have the proper advance curve for the Lotus 907. If you need a new distributor get a rebuild from ...   10-12-2010 03:09 pm

Thanks John and thanks Pete! ...   10-06-2010 05:25 pm

Wow, thanks John! I'll send you a JHPS message with my address and such. I really appriciate it! Kurt ...   10-06-2010 04:19 am

Hi Pete, 91692 is described as a "'73 shift boot". Was this part used under part# 99852? I can see how it would help the heat issue. ...   10-05-2010 08:49 pm
