The Volvo 140 with a b20 is getting fuel injection. I have access to a junkyard b20e or f or something and I kept walking past it not wanting to crack into it but now here I am. All my midterms and finals are done, I’ve bought everyone Christmas gifts and now I’m on break with a good amount of...

I need new tie rods and I can’t figure out what the difference is between the 100 dollar tie rod kit for a 69- and the significantly more expensiver -68 tie rods. Can someone explain? https://vp-autoparts.com/en/artiklar/tie-rod-kit-140-164-69-75.html This is the kit I’m wondering about My...

My Volvo is running poorly at idle the tachometer reads 400-600 rpm at idle. I limped the car home by holding the throttle open a bit higher so it makes enough oil pressure to not knock. I suspected a vacuum leak so I borrowed a smoke machine from my friend. I hooked the smoke machine up to the...

My 68 Volvo 142 has a rear end from an automatic in it. Is it different gearing from a manual rear end? I’m only wondering cause I manual swapped my car and my gas mileage is really not that impressive. It seems reved pretty high on the freeway but I’m not totally sure cause I don’t have a...

I bought bulbs to light up my heater controls for my 1968 Volvo 140. Autozone had two options. 2.3w 12 v 1.2 w 12 v Are either of these correct

How do you remove the headliner from a 70 144 with out total destruction? I’m at junkyard and need to know soon

Mine doesn’t. When mine starts up it runs at the same idle rpm it always does. I know there are benefits to having a slightly higher idle upon cold starting and then dropping within a couple seconds but it wouldn’t surprise me if this just isn’t a thing on b230s

I’ve gotta replace my water pump on my 240 maybe it’ll fix the engine noise too… what’s a good brand of one to buy that won’t die instantly? Ps if you don’t understand the title that’s honestly cooler then if you do.

Well two years ago I got my hands on a 1968 Volvo 142. Here it was day one. I’ll catch you up on what’s been done. I first redid the brake system and replaced some parts like the fuel filter and points to get it running okay. Took it for its first spin a couple months later. Keep in mind I...

My pops and I went to the Davis meetup this weekend. It was an awesome trip and besides some overheating in heavy traffic, the 140 ran beautifully. It seemed we would have a successful trip until my dad (who was driving my 244) on the way home texted me and said that the car was making an odd...

True to form, this post is going to be a jumble of thoughts that is probably too long followed by a tldr that people will respond to by asking a question that was answered in the longer segment. I started a manual swap over winter break on my 92 244. I used mostly parts from an 82 or 84 242 at...

Can I use Bilstien b6 shocks and struts with ipd lowering springs even though the struts say for stock ride height?

I’ve got a 68 142 b20b m40 suhs6 exhaust headers blah blah blah. The motor is making 180 psi across all the cylinders and runs really well for what it is. This was my daily so I didn’t wanna break anything but now I’m driving a 244 so I can do whatever I want to this car. I’m thinking of a...

I installed a believed to be working antenna in my 92 240. It doesn?t go up. I would like to clarify I haven?t done any diagnostics at all. I?m trying to understand how it?s supposed to work before I jump into it. If I understand correctly, it?s supposed to go up when you turn on the radio? I...

Ok gang some really hard ones for you this time. A manual swap for a 92 240. I know I need a gearbox, shifter, clutch petal, clutch cable, flywheel and clutch assembly. My question is about the cross member and driveshaft. All I know is my 140 manual swap and on that I had to get a longer...

https://classicvolvorestoration.com/product/dog-140-164-72/ Does this fit in a 68 volvo 140. I believe it should fit and I have the part but can?t quite make it work

Stupid dumb idiot throw out bearing. About 10 miles on the first throw out bearing and it started squealing, I re greased it and it worked just fine for about 10 more miles. I got a new throwout bearing (both from vp) and this one had the audacity to start squealing now too. This will be the way...

It sucks also the whole cluster sucks except the speedometer which is the top g except it?s not accurate at all. I have a really strange problem with the fuel gauge. When driving one time I noticed it was going up and down a lot not like just the fact that the gauge sucks but like empty and then...

Alright gamers. Two questions. Before the questions, I need to say that there is a 940? Wagon at the location pick and pull with a complete turbo b23ft engine in it. Furthermore it appears the car was in an accident so more likely than not, the engine and stuff is still working. Ok first...

Ok here?s the car. 1993 Volvo 240 na (I don?t know if this even came with a turbo) auto. It needs a couple of things done to it but keep in mind I?m on a budget and I?m going to daily it also as far as I can tell? this thing has well over 300k on it. It still runs strong and I have no concerns...
