Radio swap

I won a 88 760 turbo and would like to upgrade the radio but keep it volvo stock. If I removed both the radio component and the cassette componet, would a unit like the sc810 fit? Any recommendations? Thanks.

turbo gauge

I own a 88 760 turbo. I have noticed the gauge runs in the middle (between the black and white areas) of the gauge most of the time. When I accelerate hard, it moves alittle into the white zone but not much. Is this normal? Thanks.

throttle body question

I have noticed that there is a small black adjustable wheel right below the throttle body housing (actually connected to it). What is this for? The help is appreciated. Happy new year!

accel problem

thanks volvord, you were right. There was vaccum there when applying gas. So, let me try to explain the original problem. While accelerating, the car starts to hesitate around 3000 rpm and smoke starts coming out of the exhaust pipe. If I depress the accelerator less than halfway, the car accelerate...

narrowing the problem

I noticed today that my vaccum canister had no vaccum. I disconnect the two vaccum lines at the throttle body and there was no vaccum. I tried some other vaccum lines near the intake and there was vaccum there. Any ideas?

acceleration problem

I just bought my first volvo, a 1988 760 gle turbo. Great looking car and with all the options working. It even had a r143 retro fit down last year. There is one problem though that I can't seem to figure out. If I press the accelerator down about half way, it accels just fine. But if I press down f...
