JM2CW, I'm glad to hear your install went off without a hitch as mine didn't. The only reason I can think of for that is maybe ...   04-10-2024 03:11 pm

Vance, Sorry for the mix up on the last post, it should read install the windshield FIRST then the dash. It probably makes more sense now. ...   04-09-2024 01:03 pm

Vance, I forgot to mention now that you're reaching the point where reassembly is going to begin I highly recommend when you get to that ...   04-08-2024 04:00 pm

Vance, I don't think that dirt in post #21 was from a flood, when I redid my J/H I removed the fenders and found some dirt ...   04-08-2024 03:37 pm

You might try the Jensen-Healey Facebook page, I think there are a couple for sale. Also they pop up from time to time on BaT. ...   04-08-2024 01:11 pm

Corey, Under the heading of trying the easy things first I'd pull the plugs and turn the engine over with a wrench or socket on the ...   04-05-2024 12:51 pm

xman, Are we talking about the plate that the points sit on inside the distributor? If so they're probably not something you can find at the ...   03-03-2024 01:16 pm

Vance, On this board at the pace it moves this isn't a very old thread just kinda old. It's one of those frustrating threads that abruptly ...   12-19-2023 02:26 pm

JD, In a transmission a 16th of an inch can be a chasm a "high end" shop would have known that. They probably wouldn't take the ...   12-13-2023 01:30 pm

Rob, The safety cover is just that I doubt it would be much use keeping the belt in place. The belts don't normally slide off probably ...   11-02-2023 02:36 pm

Rob, I bought my J/H in '93 the cover at that point was long gone. In 30 years I've never had a problem due to a ...   11-01-2023 11:40 pm

Junior, It ultimately comes down to what method works best for you, I've also had success using a floor jack. Another problem you may encounter during disassembly ...   10-12-2023 03:15 pm

Junior, The problem I have with internal spring compressors is one size does not fit all. If you have a lot of cars that's a problem. ...   10-11-2023 01:29 pm

Junior, Yes, I believe you may be overthinking it. The motor is very light and is already partially supported by the transmission. You can cut the ...   10-07-2023 12:54 pm

Junior, I don't know how far along you are with this project but the J/H has a neat feature, you can drop the whole front suspension ...   10-06-2023 01:17 pm

chrisl, I'm not sure you can blame the Prince of Darkness might be the Prince of Years of Neglect. First what shape is your battery in and ...   08-04-2023 03:18 pm

WhatsUpDOHC, The Facet is a demand pump so it will give the carbs what ever they require up to 4psi which is why a regulator isn't ...   06-29-2023 02:52 pm

JH12947, I've heard this complaint before which I find puzzling. Can you hear the clicking over the sound of the motor or is it just those ...   06-16-2023 01:28 pm

Mark, Get the Cube it's bulletproof I installed one about 30 years ago and I haven't thought much about it since. Back then you could get ...   06-14-2023 01:25 pm

Glad to hear it's functioning properly now. It makes me think that an edge of the cowl was getting under the release button not allowing ...   06-10-2023 01:42 pm

Vance, Did they make you change your handle when you entered the witness protection program? ...   06-09-2023 03:23 pm

The steering wheel and cowl have nothing to do with the key lock function. I'd look to see if either one is interfering with the ...   06-09-2023 03:13 pm

Vance, I'd think it would be more about the mounting hardware than the visors. I got my J/H in '93 the sun visors along with some ...   05-31-2023 01:39 pm

Vance, I'm glad you choose a rescue dog over a turnkey. It means they'll be one more back on the road. That's a good thing since ...   05-18-2023 07:24 pm

Vance, I've seen Just Dashes work I'd rate it mediocre at best especially considering their outrageous pricing, I took a pass. You'd be better off using ...   05-07-2023 06:30 pm

I don't think there's a better color combo for any LBC than BRG and tan interior IMHO. But I'd take it one step farther and ...   04-28-2023 04:29 pm

Vance, Looks like it was originally red then painted black, what color are you going to paint it? ...   04-27-2023 03:29 pm

Don, I don't think any modern auto glass place is going to be much help most just have no experience working with older cars. You might ...   04-16-2023 06:43 pm

Hard to tell from the photo how extensive the corrosion is but if you have to replace the floor pans the cross members (both front ...   04-16-2023 06:21 pm

It's just nice to know an aftermarket supplier actually makes a part for Jensen-Healey. Where the J/H is concerned I wouldn't worry too much about ...   03-18-2023 03:42 pm

Vance, Maybe you should tell your radiator guy it doesn't need to be gold plated. But seriously if you're going to have your radiator reconditioned make sure ...   03-17-2023 02:50 pm

xman, It sounds like you got the wrong needles or your jets were not set to the proper level (too high). There are literally dozens of metering ...   03-07-2023 12:06 am

Brent, The TVR units do look like the same lights but I'm not sure if TVR would be a good alternative source. Like Aston-Martin which uses ...   03-05-2023 05:06 pm

Vance, I had the same problem when I first got my J/H in the '90s. Knowing that the Brits were famous for their creative parts bins ...   03-04-2023 05:03 pm

Vance, If you choose to repair the W/H Moss sells the blue vinyl harness wrap tape for about ten bucks a roll. When it comes to new ...   02-27-2023 04:37 pm

Vance, From your description that wiring harness doesn't sound like one I'd want to reuse. While it's out you might consider replacing it. I think Bruce ...   02-26-2023 07:13 pm

Vance, I'd go with the Bruce option, you're getting the exact part and they don't fail very often. If you're going for a new part I'd ...   02-24-2023 04:09 pm

Vance, You might try giving Delta a call. They have them listed in their catalog. As you can probably tell by my handle (and license plate) ...   02-10-2023 04:49 pm

Vance, The quality of Martin Robey parts like most UK suppliers is excellent. The Brits take their cars and restorations seriously. Unfortunately even CA J/Hs are not ...   02-07-2023 04:24 pm

Aluminum fuel tanks are common in boating which is a much harsher environment than anything ashore. Some things I've learned over the years about maintaining ...   02-07-2023 03:33 pm
