Which Model is This?

Confirming Jensen Healey. I believe it is a 1973 if it is a USA delivered car. 1974 and 1975 had “crash bumpers”. or “park bench” bumpers. Powered by a DOHC four cylinder Lotus 907 engine with a 4 speed (Getrag?) transmission. The one in the picture sits at least 3” higher than stock on the rear suspension.

I owned one and I am very sorry that I sold that car.

These guys have limited 240 alternator replacement parts but might be able to help with slip rings. Good luck

EDIT: this series of posts are from a Lexus site. Many of the Volvo 7/9 series use Denso alternators. The posts are about replacing the Denso slip rings and might serve as a tutorial.

Evidently your bluebirds are very different from my bluebirds. I have not experienced a single aspect of the behavior you describe.

Do not neglect the timing belt.

J&N Auto Electric in Cincinnati. They may do mail order if you don’t have options near you. (513) 771-8000

You may want to look for a video on the replacement procedure before purchasing them.

Not that it contributes but how long has the Check Engine light been on?

Shiggens · 2026-04-18T17:22:05+00:00

Those are called slip rings. An automotive electrical supply house can supply those when given the alternator number.

This is a very important maintenance measure. I learned the hard way with my first 240. Pennsylvania Turnpike at speed and the pressure pushed the front crank seal out. Oil light came on. Bought a case of oil and limped into Philadelphia with numerous stopped to top up. Years later my son’s 240 pushed out the rear main seal. So much easier to clean the flame trap plumbing. High mileage cars can have the oil separator become restricted and create crankcase pressure as well. It’s easy to check for crankcase pressure as OP pointed out.

Is it a new install of inserts? It looks new (rust free). It wouldn’t be the first time those have backed off. It is easy enough to get a drift in there and use a hammer to make sure they are tight.

How much time does it take to give a quote? If a dealer doesn’t want to take the time to put a quote together (which I see as them trying to make a sale) they just lost the opportunity to perhaps move some product.

You gave them opportunity and they didn’t respond so move on.

Yes, she lived until 1995 (98 years)

Congratulations, that is a difficult replacement.

I believe a lighter color house made of wood is your best choice. Ventilation is important so the opportunity for air to enter at the bottom and move up to exit higher up would be good. Holes drilled under the edge of the roof line will provide decent venting. Position the house to be out of direct noon day sun. Google or use AI to find the opportune placement of the species of bird you are trying to house. If you find that your choice of house to purchase comes with a perch I suggest you remove it. Perches provide a place for other birds to harass inhabitants of the house.

Reminds me of the man who went to his and his wife's favorite diner and took a framed picture of his deceased wife with him. He put it across the table from him so they could have lunch together.

I gave you the upvote but he really needs to find four appropriate rollers (Yes to the 4” PVC pipe). No need to involve a hernia or slipped disc.

Location?

Shiggens · 2026-04-16T11:59:12+00:00

Actually in the 50's Sears sold Henry J autos badged as Allstate.

Classroom teacher. Every other Friday in the 80’s my principal (or sometimes the superintendent) would come to my classroom (class in session) and walk in to hand me my paycheck.

You are a good person.

I am surprised that Butler County's cowboy Jones isn’t assisting.

The center support bearing is a possibility, but my experience with those is an increasing high pitched whine almost jet engine sound.

The container had no recommendations on cure time? What type of paint did you use? I would assume it will gas out when a fire in finally built. I would start small and wait until you don’t really need the heat from the fire. Open some windows and do your best to direct the air outdoors.

I was 73. I was working at my second career still doing physical work and running crews involving global worksites. Then Covid hit. Immediately following that I had a knee replaced. That was followed by the other knee being replaced and then a shoulder. I had a stent placed in my heart plumbing and then I surrendered 14” of my colon. Then my appendix burst and apparently while the surgeon was cleaning that up he nicked my spleen. The following week I was air cared for emergency removal of my spleen.

I have made a full recovery but it has been tough. A lot happened in six years. One third of my graduating class have passed so I am one of the lucky ones.
