I like that the overflow tube will splash the radiator with coolant; a
cooling boost!

<br>
I'm not a concours winner--my car is a grizzled road
warrior--but
some things stand out:<br>
<br>
Intake and exhaust manifolds should be painted engine color
(exhaust manifold paint largely burns off)<br>
<br>
Not sure what this means: "... replace fuel mesh from carb to
carb
and then front carb to engine ..." (what's a mesh?), but the
only
fuel filters on a BJ8 are the little, thimble-shaped fine
screens
on the carb inlets (not visible)<br>
<br>
I've never seen adel clamps on a Healey that weren't
owner-installed. I bought my car at 64K miles, and it just had
the
ubiquitous metal P-clip on the front choke cable bracket (might
have a rubber liner, though)<br>
<br>
Bumble bee ignition secondaries were only used on competition
cars.
#1&#2 and #5&#6 wires had O-rings to group the wires.
Never
seen that type of plug cap--with 'Champion'--on a stock car<br>
<br>
Servo vacuum line looks to have an inline check valve; original
Girling servos had one on the servo body only (new ones not
available AFAIK)<br>
<br>
Hood latch should have about a 3-inch rubber tube on the return
spring (can't tell what's there from the photo)<br>
<br>
Not sure what the purple wire coming through the firewall near
the
voltage regulator is; think I see a blue crimp terminal on/near
it<br>
<br>
AFAIK, no Healeys came from the factory with Texas Cooler fans<br>
<br>
<br>
Nice car.<br>

Thank you for the quick response, Michael. Â I have a number of
questions and will await the return of my toy (in about a
week) to
go over them. Â I have the present Concours Guidelines and have
studied them extensively, along with Bill Piggotts book
Factory
Originalâ?¦, the (green) Shop Manuel and a restoration
reference.
 Do you recommend any other publications, sites, original
marketing lit that I should have and study? Â Would love to
have close ups of the BJ8 engine to compare. Â See, attached,
my present engine look (which I know I have to change: 1.
 paint heater return pipe (completed since the picture), 2.
replace fuel mesh from carb to carb and then front carb to
engine,
3. Â probably?? strip black paint off front choke wire bracket
(there appears to be a question as it was black for the BJ7, I
believe and 4. change out the ignition coil for original).
 Anything else that strikes your imagination would be greatly
appreciated. Â THANK YOU!!<img
