Its probably not the best way but you could redo the wiring yourself... It WILL take a while, maybe a day or two, but at least you will know it will work. Just get some of those heat shrink butt splices and a LOT of wire ( different colors for doing it right ) and some of that wire loom plastic stuf...

check all your wires under the hood... that engine degreaser is a PITA on old wires, sometimes eating right thru them. Make sure you have no bare spots, and check connections, if all else fails, check your sending unit. you may have fried it.

ummm... radiator is the old fashioned type with the trans lines that are part of the radiator for the engine, no seperate cooler to take apart and take to a shop... I've checked everything, I'm just chalking this up to another thing that the previous owner should not have done because of lack of kno...

Well, it seems the accumulator was not the original, there is no hose. I'm almost leaning towards Leaky fuel injectors, Cause it seems like a flooded issue in one cylinder, and at part throttle going down the road every now and then it feels like its missing.

I spent forever trying to get the thing on the road with -new tires -new fuel pumps -fuel filters -fuel lines -fuel tank -fuel distributor -air venturi -spark plugs -spark plug wires -cap and rotor -rewire of half the d...

Bump for any replies.

Sounds like the same problems I'm having, read my post on "Again with the '78 242 issues, Help" It just seems like the trans on my car is on its way out. doesn't seem to want first gear, or when it does take first it is forever shifting. Motor is in top running order except for a leaky gas...

Alright, I still have a leaky head gasket or valve cover gasket, can't figure out if it's both or one or the other, but anyways. At start up, it is hesitant, like the fuel is draining from the lines. not hesitant in starting more like hesitant when you hit the throttle for the first few miles, and n...

http://www.1aauto.com/1A/Dash_Pad_Cover/Volvo Go to this link, you will find all the dash pad covers/dash caps, for the volvo's they cover. They are pretty inexpensive for what they are. Mine came with a high strength silicone adhesive. The bad thing is that with the way my dash is, I didn't have mu...
