Back in the good old days, I had a 60 Healey and a buddie had a 59 Sprite. We made the mistake of taking the Sprite from NY to go skiing in New Hampshire. Coming back, on a bitterly cold night, the top started to come off and we had to drive and hold on to the top, plus all the cold coming through those damn side curtains.
I had a hardtop on my car, so it wasn't too bad, but I swore off all English cars forever.
The Healey had an electric fuel pump right behind the driver seat so when the points locked up, I could pick up a rubber mallet and bang on the firewall to get it going again. a real fun car though. if you are 21 or so.
Thanks again for your help. I ordered the replacement part. Hope it works.
