dig, Sounds like you've pinpointed the problem which started when you installed the Grosse jets. The next logical step would seem to be replacing them with ...   05-14-2024 01:19 pm

dig, It's been a long time since I installed one so I'm a bit foggy and since Ive never had a problem with one it's hard ...   05-13-2024 01:23 pm

dig, Grosse jets are a controversial subject like the Strombergs themselves some people love them some absolutely hate them. I've had Grosse jets in two Stromberg ...   05-12-2024 01:50 pm

Vance, I know some guys have done the twin gas strut arrangement but I'm not a fan aside from the expense the problem for me is ...   05-01-2024 12:16 am

Vance, Long way to go but you've reached the point where every step is a step forward. The first thing I'd do is get rid of ...   04-30-2024 01:51 pm

Mark, Buying a car someone else restored is a great idea especially when your time is limited. You shouldn't have any problem finding a J/H in ...   04-29-2024 01:32 pm

Mark, As I pointed out an original works fine a wider tire may require some modification to get it to fit and it could also narrow ...   04-29-2024 01:23 pm

Mark, Why would you need a bigger spare if it's only purpose is to get the car to a tire repair shop and a 185 will ...   04-28-2024 07:17 pm

Mark, At this point it's unknown whether the gauge is the problem. If you don't have time for another project buying an LBC is probably not ...   04-28-2024 07:10 pm

Mgmark, Yeah that sounds low and while as you say it runs well it's really a matter of if it's getting proper lubrication. It could be ...   04-28-2024 01:45 pm

Nick, Have you tried the usual places (Delta and Robey)? If so you can try ReJen in the UK or MacGregor in Canada they have ...   04-27-2024 02:01 pm

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
