Hi Mike, The tub is yours, Judson said his hands are full!! I'll give you a call. Ron ...   08-20-2008 01:43 pm

I'm strippping my Jensen Healey down this week and removing pretty much everything I can re-cycle into another project car.  I'm also removing the engine, ...   08-19-2008 12:24 pm

Earlier this year or late last year someone bought a 5 speed transmission from me. I didn't send the shifter with the transmission because I ...   06-11-2008 08:58 pm

Sorry, not much of a rally guy but I know that is lots of fun. But I do like that road race wheel to wheel ...   05-28-2008 04:52 pm

I think the JH could probably compete in IT, but it'd need to be moved into ITA. In ITA the cars have less power and ...   05-28-2008 12:42 pm

It has been quite a while since I've posted here about the Jensen Healey race car. Since the last outing in the car she has ...   05-28-2008 01:34 am

I think that you will find that your driveshaft, diff, and transmission won't form a perfectly straight line. I know mine did not. Now, I've ...   07-28-2007 09:02 pm

I'd get some cinch straps, the type you use to tie a car down, and tie it down fore and aft. This way it could ...   07-25-2007 07:59 pm

I am truly sorry to hear that. His posts and explinations as already noted were extremely helpful. My condoleneces to all. Ron ...   07-24-2007 06:14 pm

Hi Lash, Thanks for the kudos, now if I can get energized to repair it.  The pictures that have the original mount are probably old pictures ...   07-22-2007 12:41 pm

GM mount bolted right up to the other half of the five speed mount, it is super strong, and it is very cheap and available ...   07-18-2007 01:35 pm

Yep, discovered same thing. Bolted a GM transmission mount in place and bolted the five speed to that. I'll dig some pictures out tomorrow if ...   07-18-2007 03:10 am

Use lots of gasket sealer. Torque the bolts as much as it takes. No matter what, you'll still have leaks. I resovled to fix it on ...   07-15-2007 11:20 pm

Dang, that is a good deal. If I ever get back to racing the JH I'll get one of those as a spare. Judson, I ...   07-09-2007 09:05 pm

There is an entire dizzy made by Pertronix for the JH? Sounds expensive! I knew about the points replacement and everyone runs those, but I ...   07-09-2007 08:03 pm

Get Jeff to rebuild it for you, he can do it and does a good job, fast and cheap. His email is: jschlemmer1@mn.rr.com Jeff Schlemmer, in MN. Roughly ...   07-08-2007 11:55 pm

Jim, how is the height on the springs? I got a set from Dave Bean as well and there was no way to get them ...   07-07-2007 02:17 am

Jeremy, I've used www.carparts.com before. They have reman calipers for $75, everything included, just bolt it on. They work well, will hold up to racing duty ...   05-15-2007 12:44 am

Nice alternative is to use TR7 calipers. They bolt right on, and can be bought completely new for like $70 each. You will have a ...   05-12-2007 02:33 am
