Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform! You can find some additional information about where we are in the process of migrating the board and setting up our new software here
Okay, I have reconditioned this '94 940t with new turbo and suspension, 136k miles; and have a question about these 940 distributors and timing adjustments. I believe that these cars don't really have adjustments to the distributor, ie advancing and insuring to 12*tdc, or whatever. But having...
Ok, I have done enough searching and youtubing...here's my question...
1970 142 with B20B engine, I have the head off to the machine shop for necessary refurbing, 123 ignition on bench ready to install and cam gear off the car but cam retainer still in place as well as crank gear.
The old...
condition.
I just acquired a solid 1970 142 with B20 and twin SU carbs with manual transmission.
I have rebuilt several 240/740/940's, but this is my first 142. I have replaced all the fluids after inspecting the car. No rust, bushes are tired and cleaning up interior bits, etc.
It has 400k...
Ok, so I replaced the rotors, cleaned them off; new calipers and pads, hard lines in and now we are bleeding them manually.
We cannot, however get the brake pedal to firm up. After plenty of bleeding, we still get half of the total travel, and that doesn't seem right. This is at rest, btw.
So...
Ok, I have taken the entire front suspension off the Mission district rescue; going back with all new components including Bilsteins HD, except w/stock springs...everything else new.
So here is the question...
While I have read all of the FAQ's on install instructions of these components, most...
Coilover Kit supplied by FCP? https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo-br-series-coilover-kit-740-940-zg-09br#description
I have Bilsteins on order from IPD and they are slow to come, then I ran across this kit.
Any thoughts on this kit vs stock springs and Bilsteins HD's? I am building up my...
Ok, so I am working on replacing the sway bar bushings to chassis brackets; which I have done many times before...
However, instead of having 2 bolt holes, which on the IPD bushing kits; my 1966 Amazon, which has a 25 mm IPD bar, has brackets which have a bolt on one side, and a slip fit...
Ok, so we just purchased/received our first Amazon wagon from Cal/Nv/Texas, and has no rust issues or body issue. I will be doing plenty of suspension and motor work...but my first imprtession is that the M40? has a lot of slop in the shifter linkage.
I have been doing a lot of searching on...
fit right onto a 1992 745 wagon? My 745 is ready to roll but bumpers are totally faded out, and my donor 940 had super clean bumpers.
Anyway, are they a straight swap?
Thanks in advance, RR
Ok, so my instructions are conflicting...wiring an e-fan to my 740, one diagram shows pi 85 going to ignition, and another shows it being grounded.
Question, does every relay need to be grounded? Mine is not now as I am deferring to the chart that shows pin 85 to constant hot, as opposed to...
...and the head has been rebuilt, head gasket, fuel injector, plugs, wires etc...
I can find top dead center with the cam and crank, right; how do I know where the rotor is relative to cylinder #1 without taking the distributor cap off the mount?
I think I have a 50/50 chance of getting the...
Howdy all, I need some Bosch fuel injector retaining clips for my 740 rebuild. It seems my 740 has 2 types of clips...2 shorter and 2 longer. The longer ones seem to work best, as I have had a no start issue after engine rebuild, and am a bit rusty as I just realized a couple of injectors were...
Ok, so the project continues and the 740 Mission District rescue 740 wagon has a new head and plenty of extras. Head and timing set, I am now going to replace the radiator with Nissens or genuine Volvo...question, which radiator electric fan switch screws right in to the extra port? I have a...
replace the motor mounts on a 740, while the head was off if you were rebuilding top end, and going to keep the 740 for long time.
So the head is back from machinist, all ready to go, and I am replacing plugs, wires, rotor, distributor, etc. This motor has not been opened up so I believe the...
So I am refreshing the head on my 92 740 wagon, N/A, and while I did take a photo of the distributor position on the head before I pulled it; I'm wondering if there is a TB method of lining up the rotor and distributor before re-installing the head.
Also, I will be removing the rear muffler...
I am working on a '92 740 n/a wagon needing a headgasket. I have the head at machine shop, and will need to wire an electric fan; and want to relay my headlamps for better voltage output.
Many years ago I made all of these mods and more with the help of this group, and Anthony Hyde on my '83...
Ok, so I bought a 1992 740 wagon, knowing it needed a head gasket. What I did not know is the coolant has the milkshake sludge everywhere.
I am in the process of removing the head to refresh, but really need to get the milky sludge out of the engine, heater core and radiator.
Has anyone...
...Valve train kit?
Wasn't there a performance shop, not IPD in the PNW that offered Volvo performance cams and valve train components as a kit?
RSI, RPS or something like this...otherwise are there other sources for Cam+ valve components as kits?
Thanks in advance.
