I had the car out today and everything was pretty good. I had the car up to
70 for a while and the motor sounded nice. It ran a little warmer than I
wanted it to ~195, so I will have to address that.
The car did have fair amount of what I am assuming was scuttle shake
starting just over 60. It shook off my rear tag and bracket :(. Also, it
developed a rattle sound when I let off of the gas. If the clutch is
depressed it goes away. Does that point to anything? I could easily have
been something in the boot or the exhaust, but going away when the clutch
was in seemed "significant"
I also took the car to a local paint guy to look get an estimate. He has
room for the car now, and the price is right, but it would be their first
Healey. I have to make a decision this week.
