Here's another idea that lets you pre-lube your Healey whenever you want f=
rom the comfort of your driver's seat:=C2=A01) Begin by installing a fuel-p=
ump cutoff switch and another switch that cuts off current to the coil; you=
can mount two very period-looking toggle switches beneath the heater contr=
ols on a bracket, using the long bolts that hold the black-plastic control =
panel in place without having to drill any holes in the dash. 2) Use the fu=
el cutoff switch to run the float bowls out of fuel (takes about 30 seconds=
maximum) before turning the ignition key to "off" and before you put your =
Healey away for the day. This is also a great workaround if your engine ten=
ds to diesel after shutting it off=E2=80=94a common problem on the Sixes es=
pecially, noted even in contemporary road tests.=C2=A03) Turn the ignition =
key and, with the fuel pump and ignition switches OFF, crank over the engin=
e for 15 seconds or so to pre-lube it with its own engine oil without washi=
ng down the cylinders with fuel and without putting any strain on the point=
s or, particularly, a Pertronix unit.=C2=A04) Flip the fuel-pump and igniti=

of course=E2=80=94assuming a simple spade connector=E2=80=94 but having two=
nifty toggle switches in the cockpit is even easier and slicker!=C2=A0
