    In 1965 the Big Healey didn't come with separate parking lights and directionals. They were still both incorporated into one bulb and lens. This car appears to be a Phase II BJ8 from either '66 or '67. If it is indeed a true '65, then someone put on the latter body panels... As for the Webers, they do indeed look very nice, but unless you have a racing cam, higher compression, etc, you are only going to go through a lot more petrol...without really increasing the power...something known as overkill. Nice video and a nice classic!

    Ant has kind of grown on me but I still think Ed was a better compliment to Mike and the show as a whole. The focus on the detailed work and Ed's always clever solutions to problems is what brought me to the show. Additionally...I think the show has deteriorated some since it came to the US. In all fairness, I could work on an old chevy truck or any number of the other US vehicles they've done since the move. One of the things that really drew me to the show originally was seeing them work on all of the quirky European cars we rarely if ever see here in the US.

    Nothing wrong with the SU carbs. Leather seats are nice, but if you are driving it and not afraid of rain, vinyl is the way to go. If you are traveling any distance the luggage rack is nice, the one removed looked to be original. Everybody has an opinion, but I think we all agree that we love the sound of a Healey!

    Didn't tell you that the studs for fitting the Webber's are extra long.
    This is because you fit Thackory washers and nylock nuts. The washers are "gapped" with feeler gauges as the nuts are tightened. This stops vibration being transmitted to the carb. Otherwise you'll get problems later.
    That's the technical stuff you need to know, and nodoubt Edd would have told you that. Also what idiot would reduce the value of a classic car by fitting non standard mods.

      The tri carb was very short lived and so very rare. The rally BN6 and BN7 cars had Weber's but to fit them they had to cut the front shroud and part of the subframe. He didn't do really anything to fit these which is odd. I have triple 1/34 SU's to fit on my 1967 engine and I think I will have to do some mods to fit those.

    Dellortos would have been a better choice as by comparison Webers are crude but the cost of triple twin choke side drafts is hugely expensive now and a cheaper and better option would have been fuel injection. PS where is the air cleaner(s) and inlet trumpets, without it those Webers won't run right and will be an instant re-bore kit.
    To rave over the 3ltr C Series engine is not to understand that the engine was a bit of a lardy clunker, more suitable for a lorry (truck) than a sports car, it's use in the Austin Westminster was however, bearable. Even with triple Webers and an extractor exhaust manifold with racing valve timing the engine only made 200bhp, which is 66bhp/ltr, whereas at the time 100bhp/ltr was the normal attainable goal of most modified engines. The Jag I6 unit was so much better.
    As a kid I lusted after a big Healey and was on the cusp of buying a 100/6 all with the intent of substituting a Jag unit that would have made a great car.

    • @clivewilliams1406
      @clivewilliams1406 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Admittedly, the big Healeys were a very successful competition car in their day and subsequently in Historic series but that was much less to do with the engine, which was and still is considered a 'lorry' engine i.e. one without finesse, excessively heavy but nevertheless tough. In the day it was considered to be much more suited to limousines than sports cars. By far the biggest attribute of the big Healeys was the relative light weight in a reasonably well handling chassis. With all the technology that is available today for historic engines, 250bhp is still a very low output for a racing engine of this size and vintage (83bhp/ltr). The contemporary Jaguar 3.8ltr race engine for example, can now be made to produce a reliable 600+bhp/500lbft of torque. QED. Its a real shame that BMC weren't brave enough to develop and fit the Riley 3ltr I6 twink that was much better suited to the car. Fitting the C series engine was a pure example of the wooden thinking of the BMC management that ultimately saw its demise. Jaguar were MUCH more progressive. The real talent at BMC was in the design department not at boardroom level.

    It’s certainly your car to do with as you wish, but I suspect your “mods” reduced the value of the car anywhere from 10 to 20 percent.

    It will run rich and the wear out faster with all those carbies washing raw fuel past the oil control rings. It will also flat spot under load without hours of tuning and messing about with jets after you put another cam in it to make them work. These are non-crossflow so it won't ever breath very well. These motors have a scroll seal, they don't leak from the top very much but they leak between the backplate and the block endlessly when this perishes... oil then makes its way on to the clutch facings. They drill a little hole in the base of the bell housing to let it all drain out on the road. Not really worth big money as it is fairly ordinary sedan parts mildly reworked.

    I have seen every single episode of wd multiple times, ant is doing extremely well and might i say more entertaining, well done!

    Tried to watch the new version but frankly can't get over how bad it is even now in mid 2020. Gave it a fair shot but sadly Ant is in the process of irreparably destroying his reputation and if anything Brewer is even worse at strangling the English Language while he robs sellers blind. Rubbish.

    I bought a 3000 MK 3 brand new (Traded in a Triumph TR 3). The Healey got in a fender bender and I had trouble getting the British racing green color to match up.and finally had to have the whole car repainted

    Bean counters made a cheaper show and it looks it. With all due respect to Ant I don't watch that often. We miss big Ed. Mike's part could be done by a walk on extra and improve the show.

    I much prefer the new format. I know how to do the detailed work so I do like to see an overview. I had a Healey 3000 while in my 20s, I was a lunatic in it.

    I felt I was watching a drama queen work on a Healey. That, combined with this focus on improving the original, kinda disrespects the whole antique car theme. All toffed up she should be a hit at the dog and pony show. Still, anything Healey is interesting and a BRG Healey more so. I've had a few so I may be oversensitive. (Snort)
