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

Sander, How you choose to restore your car is up to you. I'm just glad you are they didn't make many of these so so keeping ...   01-29-2023 04:45 pm

Vance, I don't know if the Stag seats are the same or will fit the Jensen-Healey but it's not really necessary to try them since everything ...   01-17-2023 03:06 pm

Vance, Since your primary need is a floor mat it sounds like the big stuff is in good order including the most important thing to do ...   01-10-2023 07:27 pm

Vance, I had a feeling you'd be showing up here sooner or later. Congratulations on your latest acquisition and welcome to the asylum. You may know ...   12-30-2022 05:38 pm

This one's a real beauty and super clean. IMO the way to buy one, let someone else do the work unless you're dying to do ...   09-24-2022 03:21 pm

Bruce, Lesson learned. I gave up on Chinese parts years ago after a number of premature part failures and ill fitting parts. I didn't notice when ...   09-02-2022 06:46 pm

Jh092, The idle you're talking about (850 to 950) is for a stock motor, your mill is far from stock. My '67 El Camino has a ...   08-15-2022 01:57 pm

Mark, I'd say you're right about those marks being made by a machinist or builder after the fact. The good news it probably means your motor ...   07-23-2022 03:35 pm

Jh092, You and I are car guys and like doing things right the first time but not everybody who drove these cars were. There was a ...   07-18-2022 04:58 pm

jomac, I'm glad it turned out the way you wanted because it does sound cheap or easy. ...   07-18-2022 04:43 pm

Disco, What really caught my eye was that stunning Eclat, probably a '77. They are even rarer than our J/Hs and are powered with the same ...   07-12-2022 04:40 pm

Rdinstel, There isn't that much under a J/H dash that could cause that problem, Disco has identified the two most likely culprits. If you get your ...   07-12-2022 04:09 pm

Stuart, Congrats on your new (to you) car, they are wonderful unappreciated cars, hope you like it. In answer to your questions: 1) Factory psi (24/24) should ...   06-30-2022 03:08 pm

A '74 Jensen-Healey just sold on BaT for $14,250, a good price for the seller and a good value for the buyer. This seems to ...   06-29-2022 04:27 pm

Carone, Keep in mind that LBC and easily are rarely used in the same sentence. Can it be done easily, in a word "No". First you'll need ...   06-25-2022 02:49 pm

Carone, Sounds like you got a big thumbs up from Bruce, that's a good thing. Contacting the seller will be the best way to get more ...   06-24-2022 06:33 pm

Bruce, While we're on the subject of extra equipment, on BaT there's a '75 VIN #19971 with some things I've never seen before. There's a cylinder ...   06-23-2022 04:51 pm

Bruce, Smog testing in CA started in 1984. Before that smog equipment was required on CA cars but nobody inspected it or tested it. In '84 when ...   06-22-2022 03:00 pm

Carone, Lots of red flags here, where do I begin. Lets start with the year, in 1978 Jensen Motors had been out of business for two ...   06-20-2022 03:01 pm

Jh092, I think the real adventure started the day you bought the car! When you're encountering these PO "fixes" keep in mind they were done to keep ...   05-31-2022 03:00 pm

Poorichard, First, congratulations on your acquisition. Second, 810 miles! Don't leave us hanging there's got to be a story behind this one, oh and feel free to ...   05-14-2022 01:18 pm

Ed, Do you know for sure your the booster is bad? Brake problems are usually found elsewhere, brake boosters are usually pretty bulletproof. When it comes to ...   05-08-2022 03:36 pm

gswords3, Great find, congratulations. My VIN is 19661 so our cars are pretty close. Your best source of car history will be the seller and any paperwork ...   05-06-2022 04:28 pm

Sander, A nice GT to be sure, it still needs a few things (headliner, seats for example) but for the price not a bad deal. Like you ...   04-06-2022 02:51 pm

If you're unfortunate enough to have an engine fire the first thing you should do on your way out of the car is pop the ...   03-09-2022 02:27 pm

It just sold for 15,350, a lot of car for the money I thought. ...   02-24-2022 09:57 pm

Very original right down to the door speakers. Not a big fan of the blackout though, I'd strip to bare metal the side markers, tail ...   02-18-2022 05:49 pm

Unfortunately it sounds like the new owner wants to turn it into some kind of racecar. As far as I know no one raced the ...   02-12-2022 03:05 pm

Jh092, I see you've been surfing past threads on the message board. Good idea, lots of good information available especially for new owners. As you can ...   02-07-2022 02:33 pm
