I remember seeing a link to a page describing how to rebuild a voltage stabiliser with a more stable system. Does anyone have the link. /dlh. -- David Hallam ...
I have just joined this group and would be grateful if someone could let me know the essential differences between the 140's and the 240's apart from the round...
Erik Thanks for your reply but please explain further - what do you mean by awesome. I thought they were essentially the same, carbs etc but different lights....
OK, the main differewnce 240 vs. 140 is that the 140 has the B20 engine in it vs. the 240 which had in 1975 a k-jet B20, then the B21, B23, and later, B230 -...
Hi, there has been in fact a smooth transition from the early 140's to the later 240's. Volvo chose to change the name from 140 to 240 in 1974, that's it. ...

75 164, when mine gets fully warmed up and you attempt acceleration, it dies like the fuels getting cut off. when you let off the gas it comes back to idle...
Hi George, problem only when engine is warm? Then I agree with Axel, the first thing to check/replace is fuel filter. If this does not solve the problem, I...

When my 244 did that, it was the mass air flow sensor. I know the B30 doesn't have one, but maybe it is related??? Erik '74 164e owner Volvocarclub@... ...
I had a 74 164E that did that. It turned out it was the fuel pressure sensor. that's the cylindrical device on the side of the engine bay with the rubber hose...
Hi, ... What you are describing is actually the vacuum sensor - there is no fuel pressure sensor on the 164E as the fuel pressure is regulated by the fuel...

Hi, I bought a second Volvo 164e 1973 this weekend. First I intended to use it as donor car for the first 164, but on further inspection it's too good to take...
hello, check injector grounds... also presumably a few injectors are working if it runs on petrol at all.... so check the trigger points below the points plate...
Hi, when converting a 164E to LPG one of the difficulties is adjusting the idle. As LPG is first mixed with the intake air just over the throttle flap, at idle...

I understand the following to be reasonably accurate. M410 Gearbox is original fitment to some P1800E's (possibly the early P1800E's) & the 164 (manual...
