    245 front wheel seals

    So I was repacking my front wheel bearings today and had purchased new seals for them because there was nothing left of the old ones. The ones I got from Autozone didn't fit, the shell was longer and slightly smaller, wouldn't fit around the bearing properly. Come to find out every parts place I...

    Difficult to diagnose miss on NA b230

    So I'm about at wits end with this poor brick. It's an 87 245 (NA). I had a bad valve tap, and replaced the cylinder head with a junkyard head that I had remachined by my machine shop. After putting on the new head, I have a slight miss that is causing a rough idle and seems to continue during...

    Hacking LH-Jetronic

    So I've only seen crazy Saab guys talking about attempting to modify maps and code in the LH-Jetronic systems. It should be possible (Hey, an EEPROM is an EEPROM right?)... So I'm trying to feel this out a bit. I have a buddy that does kinky things with the ECU code in DSM's, and if you know...

    b23 head on a b230

    Okay, I apologize in advance for not being sure which section to post this in, and possibly recovering an old topic, but here goes. I have a 87 245dl that has some mad valve tap going on, so I pulled a junkyard head to send to the machine shop then swap them out. A bit later I realized that the...

    '83 244glt speedometer cable + gear

    Does anyone know of a decent source for mechanical speedometer cables, housings and gears for 240's? I can't seem to find anything for the aw-71. Only thing any of the parts places list is the m46. I haven't had any luck finding one that old in a junkyard. I havent even been able to get a part...

    240 kick panel speaker mounts

    Has anyone ever attempted mounting speakers in the kick panel in a 240? I'm thinking about glassing up some custom enclosures for the upcoming wagon stereo project.

    Differences in 240 Non/Turbo suspensions

    What are the primary differences in the 240 suspension between the glt and the dl/gl? Specifically 1983... I know the sway bars are larger, and that the mounts for the dampeners are different, but are there any other 'gotchas' I should know about before ordering suspension parts? Not every...

    240 floor pans

    Does anybody know how much floor pans changed in the 240's? I need to find a large chunk of rear driver-side floor pan for an 83 244glt, want to know how close the floor in a 87 would be. Anyone ever had to do this?

    Fuel adjustment on k-jet

    I'm trying to set the fuel mix adjustment on the old 244glt and am having trouble getting a good reading. I had been reading that you can use a dwell meter to check it, but I'm not sure exactly where the intended test point is. If I check the ignition coil it never changes (as I would expect...

    aw21 240 trans no overdrive

    OK, sorry to repost this, but I put it in performance by accident, so I'm posting it here where it probably should go. Bonehead mistake... So, I have no overdrive on my aw71 in the good old 244glt. The relay is fine, and I replaced a burnt up solenoid. Just to be sure, I jumped around the relay...

    No OD on 244 aw71

    So, I have no overdrive on my aw71 in the good old 244glt. The relay is fine, and I replaced a burnt up solenoid. Just to be sure, I jumped around the relay. You can here the solenoid pop when you jump over the relay with the car on (not running) so the white lead for the solenoid is not in...

    240 GT seats

    I can't seem to find any information on a set of seats I'm looking for. They were in a 242gt that my parents owned many many years ago. (Late 70's. I think it was a round-bulbs). The seats were some sort of black couderoy fabric with an orange vinyl stripe on them. Seemed to have higher side...

    240 5speed swap

    I apologize in advance because I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't find anywhere. I have an '83 244glt b21ft, with the AW71, and intend to swap the stock 5-speed into it. What would I need to do this, obviously the clutch cable assembly, transmission, mount, crossmember. I'm looking...

    Hello List.

    Hiya guys. Just found the list. Quick background on me: I live in Norfolk, Virginia. Go to school at ODU and do computer tech/administration work full time. Family has had many volvos, one of which was my first car. Just got myself a '83 240 turbo, with plans to fix it up a bit. It needs much...
