Ally hood, mmmmmmmmmm good! ...   09-29-2005 08:29 pm

Duct, duct, duct.  Did I say duct? Improved Touring has LOTS of cars that have solid rotors and less than optimal brakes for severe race duty.  ...   09-05-2005 01:51 pm

Well, I don't think this thing is going to work out.  I think the prices would just be too high for the average JHer - ...   08-10-2005 11:22 am

Well, here is what sort of started all of this - troubles starting. Right now when you crank the engine she spits out of both ends ...   08-03-2005 06:51 pm

That is fantastic news!!!!! Good job and I hope that you have many noteworthy trips in the car! Ron ...   08-03-2005 01:53 pm

My 74 JH seems to have come with a single grove crank pulley and four timing marks on the front cover. I assume them stock. But, ...   08-03-2005 01:15 pm

Just to keep you updated - I did not see Robert this week since the JH got delayed with the driveshaft making, but I will ...   07-28-2005 01:02 pm

I don't have a spare 5 speed tranny for my JH SCCA racer. If you've converted to Toyota, or something else, or hate yours, or ...   07-28-2005 12:31 am

The baffles will cause problems for those with stock equipment and want to keep that mess. The stock tank had a float, which is going ...   07-26-2005 01:04 pm

Well, I actually have some JH Preservation Society vinyl made too, but it isn't going on until the grease stops flying. I made the mistake ...   07-26-2005 11:17 am

I am going to check with my welder/fabricator next Monday when I drop the JH off for a side exit NASCAR style exhaust. Don't like ...   07-25-2005 10:38 pm

Well, it has taken almost one year to the day for Jeff and I to get this car built, inbetween getting my race license, racing ...   07-24-2005 07:40 pm

Good point Judson, it is actually how I did my own too, I left that out.  I would definitely turn the crank 90 degrees before ...   07-24-2005 03:33 pm

Four marks on the engine, one on the crank. Crank mark should be aligned with the right most mark when viewed from the front of ...   07-22-2005 11:46 pm

Changing the belt, the short version as I know it from my simple car, which isn't as complex as some models with smog pumps etc.   1) ...   07-22-2005 07:30 pm

It is an odd puzzle.  The engine is right, there is little room and the engine is where it is - in the right place. ...   07-22-2005 06:45 pm

That second bracket, did it support the two piece driveshaft bushing holder or something? I don't have that since I am using a single piece. ...   07-22-2005 06:14 pm

The chassis has bolts sticking down that are supposed to go through the transmission mount to support the tranny. But, my bolts are about 9" ...   07-22-2005 05:35 pm

Hey Mark, This is in reference to the same question I ask a week or so ago - my chassis bolts come nowhere near close to ...   07-22-2005 04:45 pm

Is my tranny crooked? It looks that way, but I cannot figure out why.  The engine looks straight, is this normal? I know the tunnels ...   07-22-2005 02:10 pm

Brett, thanks for the pictures of yours by the way. I am printing those and storing them in the manual in case I get protested ...   07-21-2005 03:13 pm

Hey Judson, I think it will help.  IT rules state that anything in front of the carbs is free - EXCEPT, a cold air intake UNLESS ...   07-21-2005 02:26 pm

Frank, did you see pics of the car I got from you last August? She is behind schedule but she is about 1 week away ...   07-21-2005 12:54 am

Tim, That is a Powermaster one wire alternator and it is quite small. It is only 60amp and is rated for severe duty at high RPM. ...   07-20-2005 11:36 pm

One thing that helps a lot is to make a good clutch alignment tool using two sockets that fit together and perfectly match the input ...   07-20-2005 11:32 pm

I have a book that has a collection of road test articles for the Jensen Healey and GT.  In one picture they show an airbox ...   07-20-2005 11:28 pm

We generally clean oil coolers out every couple of oil changes.  I usually blow them out with compressed air. And when I go to put ...   07-20-2005 05:55 pm

Thanks for the info Mark. I am going to use a MSD Timing Advance/Retard unit and I might just fix the dizzy at a static ...   07-19-2005 06:56 pm

Are you thinking of using an aftermarket ignition such as a MSD-6AL? If so, I can outline the procedure for you in a few steps. 1. ...   07-19-2005 01:31 am

My motor on the JH SCCA IT car is done, in the car, and we're tidying things up for start up. I've a couple of ...   07-17-2005 12:26 pm

Like this: http://www.gt40s.com/images/jensen/edscreationsmall.jpg And http://www.gt40s.com/images/jensen/downenginesmall.jpg But, I have since pulled them from the top and find that easier, especially if you are not planning on subframe work. It goes ...   07-14-2005 03:04 pm

Judson et al, this must be the two piece shaft you were describing to me with respect to driveshafts and 5 speed types? This I ...   07-11-2005 12:49 am

Mark, I have a kit from JAE and it has the old ball valves. These carbs I have were tweaked and flowed from a fellow in ...   07-10-2005 11:59 pm

Thanks Mark! My kits had the ball valve type, so I am not sure what gives. I would like to have the needle valve type ...   07-10-2005 08:33 pm

I went to prep my car for fire up and my rear carb leaked a serious amount of gas out when I pressurized the system ...   07-10-2005 11:44 am

I've got a 5 speed in my JH and I'm buttoning the car up for the first test drive. The other night I went to ...   07-08-2005 01:59 pm

themagicalswitch, or whomever you might be, it is doubtful that there will be enough interest to make a run of these things.  More than likely ...   07-07-2005 12:56 pm

Don't know what that looks like, but I assume it is slung under the trunk. I would normally put a fuel cell under the truck ...   07-06-2005 11:27 pm

If you know anything, let me know, that would be great. But, the tank is simple (if you want to follow OEM) and easily made. ...   07-06-2005 03:35 am
