That car has been sitting in storage for decades now; sometime soon I hope to start restoring it. Maybe I'll check out the problem then.... ;-) What's the hurry? ==AM== No rush at all; it's only been

Is there a difference btw classic and vintage cars? ==AM== Short answer: no, not like there used to be. However, many would (accurately) argue that there is or should be a difference. For example, th

Were not 3B engines just TR4 engines? ==AM== Well, yes, the 2138cc. 3B engines ARE just (early) TR4 engines, with the occasional very slight detail difference...and different serial number prefix (TC

I put in a nicely rebuilt J-type O/D transmission over the winter to replace my slippy non-functional A-type. Previously I just had a switch stuck under the dash for testing the unit. I bought an O/D

I assume it would be dumb not to renew pitted tappets on the 3B. 2 of 8 show pits including the receded #1 exhaust. ==AM== I almost hesitate to ask this, but what do the camshaft lobes look like? --A

A restorable Austin Healey 3000 MkIII. If over 25k...a '66 Corvette Stingray split-window 427. ==AM== I can't argue with the thought, but the only "split-window" Corvette Sting Rays were 1963 models.

OK, it's not Triumph, but presumably a "generic" LBC situation. A friend's '57 MGA died on the road yesterday and would not restart. He'd told me he was experiencing some rough running when the car w
