G'day Gary
Drop a note to Joe Armour who is on this list. He normally signs off with
just "Joe" A Blue One and a Red One.
The Blue One is a BJ8 and has triple Webers and the interesting thing about
the car is that it is not a replica. It is a Sebring 3000 that ran there in
1965. The Red One ran there too, but that had fuel injection.
I am sure once he rises for the day he will offer his advice.

Subject: [Healeys] webers
I would like to hear from those of you who have installed triple twin choke
side draft Webers (Model 45DCOE) on your big Healey engines. I am
considering
restoring my 3000 as a loose replica of a Sebring racing Healey. I am not
concerned about being historically accurate. The engine would be prepared
for
the street, probably as follows: bored .060" over, under 10:1 compression
for
premium pump gas, BJ8 cam or perhaps slightly more duration. Exhaust
header.
I will be using a BJ8 transmission & overdrive. Also, stick rear Diff.
gears.
I am interested in hearing if you have been able to successfully tune the
Webers for good street driveability (SP?). Also, what are your gas mileage
experiences when cruising along at 60-70 MPH.
Any other thoughts or suggestions on the subject?
Thanks,
Gary Hodson
