Thanks so much Steve, I really enjoyed this video. I am restoring a BJ8 and am looking forward to you adjusting the carbs and bringing the power closer to the factory claimed power. Although, I thought the BJ8 and BJ7 had a little less than 150 hp, but I might be wrong. And thanks so much for all of your videos. You must spend an incredible amount of time on them. It is very appreciated!!

I was handed down my mom's 1967. Austin Healey. It is so much fun to drive and the looks I get. It will be my son's later and he has already said that it will be handed down to his kids. The family Pride and Joy.

"Well, apart from the vibration, how does it feel?" Drove one of the last when new in 67 and have loved 'em ever since.

Hi Steve for those of us that have a limited knowledge of dynos it would be great if you explained in more depth why and what shows you that things aren’t working properly or indeed are working. You did explain a little in this video but more in-depth would be great. Thanks

my college room mate (1970) had one.... we'd get 5 guys in it with the top up and go to Krispy Kreme donut at 3 am when pulling an all nighter....I always wanted one never had the right circumstances to buy one....now a good one is gold....just found your channel....love it, you have a great taste in old cars except that Landrover....my first car was a Rover 2000 tc... love/hate my first love was any Jag and Citroen SM, driven lots of both never owned one....I always had friends available to talk me out of it ... also had a friend with a 1600 Alpine

A handsome car with a great 6-cylinder soundtrack. Bravo!

Near vertical steering wheel and comfortable position of gear selector makes this a joy to drive.

I have always liked these. they have always looked great.

'67 was the last & best year for the 'Big Healey'.

Engine sounds lovely :)

Greetings from Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. I have been binge watching your videos, and am very pleased by your style and all the Brit Vehicles. My first was a 1966 TR4A- total rebuild. Then a 1964 Jaguar XKE-brakes and Carbs. Then Austin Mini..1969(?) Head Gasket. Then Lotus Europa- basically given to me by my girlfriends apartment manager. PO just left it sitting in his parking spot after he moved, so I asked her about it...taking her out for a fancy dinner and drinks..... the car was an electrical nightmare- looked like weed wackers went nuts! Schematic wirning diagrams! on to mechanical-Brit motorcycles BSA 650 Firebird Scrambler-Crankshaft etc. Triumph Bonneville 650. Hey! you must be richy RICH to have all you got.. what is your story?

Had a Mk2 BT7 for about 4 years. Bought it around 1999 for £20K and sold it 4 years later for £25K. Used it year 'round as a daily driver, because it was fun, but it didn't really work out when the kids started popping out. I wonder where it is now, what condition it's in, and what it must be worth? It was good to have, but there were problems that needed a regular fix. It needed a new windscreen and exhaust every year. It rode so low that I had to carry blocks of wood in the boot to get over speed humps. And it would cook the legs of anyone in the passenger seat.

beauty!!!

Love this channel. Great cars. You need to get your hands on a Jensen Interceptor. My Dad had one.. amazing

Did you ever video fixing the carb and/or another dyno run?

make sure the old dizzy is working , i dumped mine for a '16' curves one which runs best on max advance

Smooth

I love how on the dyno, if you have captions on, when he starts doing the pull the captions just say [Music] It’s like yes it is

Greetings, I just purchased an 1960 Austin Healey 3000. I looked all over for the choke. Where is the choke located? I did check underneath the dash. Thanks for your advice.

My first car was a 100/6---bought it for $900 and sold it 3 years later for $700----in the 60's

I have a BJ8 and I would love to see how to fine tune the carbs. U said u would show how to do that in a later video. Which one is it? Thanks for the dyno on the Healey!

You sure got in the Healey easier than I do.

Thank you Steve. My Dad wouldn’t loan me the last $50 I needed to buy one of those in 1971. I forgave him later.

Great British sports car, yes, but not the last. The Triumph TR5 and TR6 were great British sports cars too.

I recall them as being rated at 148 HP when new.

My BJ7 knocks out about 170BHP on the RR.

Bought this car new in !966 {honest}. British racing green and with wire wheels. It got a fender bender and I couldn't get the paint to match. I had a Triumph T R 3 for 4 years before, but went to a new 66' Ford ,as Brit parts were too much for me.

I did buy also a 100/6 in1965 (500 US) in ft Lauderdale; driving from there to Michigan/ call-ifo, Mexico, city and back to fla than i shipped it to Holland when getting kids i had to sell it😢😢 🇳🇱 D

"Last of the great British sports cars" What about the E-type?

Great video, I love these old Healeys, but no academy awards for the cinematography👍🏻👍🏻🤪

Put triple Weber 40s on, set up correctly and you should see 175bhp plus.

This has always been my dream car, hopefully if I get to heaven I will have one to drive. Lol

Wow, you need a computer and dyno to determine that your carbs are ng? I had one of these as a teen and mine didn't shake like this one. Ever heard of basic tune-up routines, like valve adjust and carb balancing?

Don't you like Sunbeam alpine or Tigers

Thsse cars in this condition go for 60 to 100k!

I can see the problem right away with that car, whoever resorted it put the steering wheel on the wrong side.

Camera very shaky and sound (what sound). Not good when test driving and camera at wrong angle.

MSs

Fix your Camera !!!!! it's Junk !!!!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF why is this channel always being recommend to me? I don't like rich people who buy everything. Thumbs down so it doesn't keep following me. No offense rich boy.
