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, 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...

Jean, Bought an M410 over the phone. The case is M400 (low oil filler plug) That in itself is not something I can not deal with (get a new hole taped into...

Jean I am sure the higher plug was put in during manufactuer for the higher oil level required with overdrive. I iamagine this particular unit has been rebuilt...
