Jensen Healey on the Dyno - Results Inside

[Ron Earp]

I wish I'd recorded some sounds or video. Basically it doesn't sound a lot different from other 4 pots, but it does like RPM better than say a Miata or 240sx four pot. Let me get some work done to it and we'll try again, this time with some sound.

Hey Ron - I can relate - the Fiero dynoed for crap but at least I found out the problems too. Not as funky as the stuff you're dealing with!

THIS THREAD IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT A SOUND TRACK!

Put rocks in box. Shake violently.

Bingo.

Add 4 quarts of oil to box, poke holes in box, and stand near open bon fire. This will give you the feeling of emminent fire that comes along with driving/dynoing the Jensen.

Once you've done that it is basically like you were there.

Well we're back on track with a improved JH. Brake ducts, blue printed dizzy (spark scatter seems to be gone), re-tuned carb, timing adjusted up pretty good, and we've a much better running car. I've added some gauges to the dash such as EGTs, fuel pressure, adjustable timing control, 20 psi oil warning light, and also installed a Traqmate in hopes of actually using it this year!!! Things are moving along!

Hey Ron,

Looks good. Good luck with your next event. Love to hear how you do in your first race.
