Lol, yep. That truly is the real question.   Just heard that the prices on the 2.2L cranks went up again. I'm kicking myself for not having ...   05-25-2011 07:32 pm

So my first question is what do you want to get out of it? You want your baby to just be refreshed or are you ...   05-25-2011 06:51 pm

no particular brand, I've used a couple different ones. I don't remember the fluid capacity of the brakes. I buy stuff in volume because of ...   05-25-2011 03:32 pm

Hey Folks, I'm looking into building a crank-fired ignition set-up based on Steve's working prototype. i've already emailed this info to the Jensen mailing list. I'm looking ...   05-17-2011 04:51 pm

Mitch,   Read my writeup here: http://www.jensenhealey.com/forums/view_topic.php?id=1453&forum_id=2&jump_to=9464#p9464 The major differences in regards to the one piece header are: 1) Yes you have to remove the steering. Clean it up ...   05-08-2011 05:31 pm

Well now that is a hose of a different colour! So abandon all hope ye who enter here, or some such. Actually, it can be done ...   02-26-2011 12:31 am

Try going directly from the battery to the solenoid to rule out any issues in the middle. If it's ok this way look for bad ...   02-23-2011 12:03 am

Jim @ Delta sells an uprated headlight. I have them in my project car, but not in my driver yet.   ...   01-31-2011 04:42 am

I'm not suprised. There's very little call for the air filter/cold air box on the Jensen Healey as most people replace it with K&N Filters. Your ...   01-26-2011 05:22 pm

Step 1 - Fuel delivery, make sure you've got a clean fuel filter Step 2 - Timing - make sure it's on, points clean, etc. Step 3 ...   01-26-2011 03:37 pm

Going to reply to myself here as the topic's relevant. Caught up with some bits on my Jensen Healey in the past week-ish. Made and installed the ...   01-23-2011 11:06 pm

You need to double check on the Honda. You have to be sure that the ABS system can handle DOT5. ...   01-19-2011 11:33 pm

Looks really nice! ...   01-19-2011 04:12 am

Nothing super special. The last conversion I did was on my mum's Spitfire. I had the MC and PDWA off the car at the time. ...   01-19-2011 03:25 am

Ok, in regards to Master Cylinders. You're not going to be ale to buy a new MC. You can either rebuild the one you have or ...   01-19-2011 02:17 am
