[Healeys] Roadside failuresMichelin XZX went egg-shaped while driving south on
I-75 at 75 mph.

Engine died immediately one fine Spring morning while accelerating through the
gears from a red light on U.S. 19.  Hitched a ride to work.  Subsequent fault
isolation revealed a "grenaded" 25D Lucas distributor...a centrifugal advance
weight had come loose and penetrated the cast distributor housing.

  Rotor
  oil hose ruptured with loss of all oil pressure (and
  oil)
  headlight switch shorted causing a fried wiring
  harness
  fan blade sheared off
  original fuel pump siezed
  clutch push rod disconnected from cup in master
  cylinder
  Wipers ceased functioning after running for four hours
  in the rain. I still don't know what caused this. They
  resumed functioning the next morning and I've been
  afraid to drive in the rain ever since.
  ignition coil
  battery switch failed. Corrected by direct wiring to
  the terminal
  Allison electronic ignition failed at 80k miles
