Eeuroparts.com is also an excellent place. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1343498&rss=1 Mon, 13 Apr 2009 06:07 GMT I have a new rear set of TRW springs with a sticker that says trw 8602. Not sure if they're lowering springs. Want to sell but not sure of height. Thanks John http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1340336&rss=1 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 19:52 GMT I'm wondering if I bring the compression up to 10 to 1 if I need the brain from a 71 or would the 72 brain be OK? Thanks in advance John http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1338244&rss=1 Tue, 17 Mar 2009 05:33 GMT I have a miss on #1 again. Plug has gas on it so I know it's getting fuel; Switched plug and wire to #2 and still have a miss on #1. Timing at 10 degrees Checked dist. cap (new) and no crack. Checked compression and all cyl at 120. New rotor and have rebuilt distributor. What else? It's a 164E Thanks in advance!! http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1333478&rss=1 Sun, 22 Feb 2009 20:36 GMT Check out the wiring harness where it goes into the firewall from the engine compartment. They go bad. Had a 242 turbo and sold it (hated to) and got an email showing me the harness with the insulation falling off. But as far as 240's go they are awesome. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1327047&rss=1 Thu, 22 Jan 2009 05:50 GMT George, There is a 74 164 in Tacoma pull a part, I'll go out tomorrow and see what kind of shape the S wheel is in. Was out a week ago and was shocked to see it there, nice body, good interior door panels, and perfect hood and fenders. No rust! Need anything else? http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1327008&rss=1 Thu, 22 Jan 2009 02:16 GMT Got in my faithful 91 240 and it didn't start. All dash lights came on and speedo was reading up to 90!! Engine did not turn over, no noise from starter. Radio came on and windows still worked. So all electrical options were there, but speedo was freakin out and no response from engine. Battery good. Ignition switch? Thanks for any ideas in advance John http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1323833&rss=1 Wed, 7 Jan 2009 05:33 GMT Thanks!! The wires to the pump are broken somewhere before the pump, as when I move the harness it well stop or start working again. Going to replace those with heavier wire. Went to get some Anti Corrosive Paste at the parts store but of course it seems no one has it. Where do you get it? Thanks for your help! John http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1318168&rss=1 Sun, 7 Dec 2008 04:05 GMT Never mind-got that handled but now when car is running the wires to the fuel pum are very warm--is this normal? http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1317588&rss=1 Thu, 4 Dec 2008 00:10 GMT 73 164 wire connections to fuel pump, which one is positive? The wires are not different colors and there are no marks on fuel pump, trying to rework a prior set up with am pump to Bosch. Thanks in advance John http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1317547&rss=1 Wed, 3 Dec 2008 21:04 GMT Just wondering here if I could put a tee into the return line if that would work? Facing it to the tank before it enters it. I hate the idea of changing tanks over but it seems that would work. What do you think? Thanks John http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1311802&rss=1 Sun, 2 Nov 2008 19:11 GMT I have a fuel pump from a 72 142E and was going to put on a 73 164. The pumps are different as the 72 has 3 hoses that go to it and the 73 has 2. Can I plug one? I'm asking because apparently 73 and 72 pumps are no longer available. Thanks in advance John http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1311601&rss=1 Sat, 1 Nov 2008 21:40 GMT I don't have any pictures at this time and I had a shop put it in, but what I specified to them was a 93 240 windshield and it's perfect! Looks the same as a 93 240 in the hole. John http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1309033&rss=1 Tue, 21 Oct 2008 04:38 GMT Sorry, my bad. I have a manifold that's made for a 2 barrell carb only. It's all aluminium with a plate for the carb. I'm just trying to figure out what cfm carb to put on. My thinking is no worry about synching carbs, just a modern 2 barrel. Thank you for the replies, I just forgot to mention the manifold. John http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1309032&rss=1 Tue, 21 Oct 2008 04:35 GMT I'm wondering what the cfm rating is for a carb on a 164. Sick of FI problems. Have a carb maniford and thinking of a Holly 2 barrel. Any thoughts? http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1308740&rss=1 Mon, 20 Oct 2008 00:17 GMT I have a 72 142 and have put in the 93 style windshield-much easier than trying to do the clips. John http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1308647&rss=1 Sun, 19 Oct 2008 02:11 GMT If it's a 2 door it's a 142 http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1294437&rss=1 Fri, 8 Aug 2008 05:20 GMT Head bolts can be re-used according to a Volvo Tech http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1287748&rss=1 Sun, 6 Jul 2008 05:36 GMT Replaced front claipers, rotors and master cylinder, bled brakes by Hanes manual. Still have no brake pedal. No visible leaks anywhere in system. Brake light was not on when I started the project. Have done many of these since owning Volvos and have never had this happen. Any ideas???? Thanks in advance. John http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1284835&rss=1 Sun, 22 Jun 2008 01:54 GMT The brake manufacturer is on the caliper, can be seen after removing wheel. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1281038&rss=1 Tue, 3 Jun 2008 00:41 GMT John Parker @ http://www.v-performance.com/ has Mikuni carbs for B20's. Check it out!! http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1273531&rss=1 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 06:06 GMT What type of otl filter do you use? If you use Volvo, Bosch or Mann, the oil will not drain out of the filter on shut off, thus no dry start. John http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1271608&rss=1 Wed, 16 Apr 2008 05:13 GMT Well, finally got on the road with my 73 164 and it was great! Until I came to a stop light and it quit running. I had put a new fuel pump (Bosch)and I could hear it run all the time. But now there was no noise and not running. Got it home and there is no current to the fuel pump. Don't see anything listing a fuse and changed out the pump relay and main relay with ones that I know work from my 72 142--same part numbers. Any Ideas? Thanks in advance!! John http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1260323&rss=1 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 07:03 GMT Could possibly be the RPM sensor, it's located at the rear of the engine and connects to the top of the flywheel housing. Check to see if insulator around the wire is completely covering it. John http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1256558&rss=1 Wed, 6 Feb 2008 03:57 GMT I guess that's my best bet, sure don't see any online. Don't need one yet but the auto is geeting a little weak and just want to be ready. Besides, I know it'll be a kick to drive!!!
