This is for my wife who wants to drive the 122 once in a while. It has wide tires which I don't want to change. I did see a 1800ES that had PS. Looked stock. I thought of converting to rack an pinion or just finding a PS from maybe a 164. Any ideas? Gary http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1387568&rss=1 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:12 GMT NO A/C No dash pad The bumpers aren't straight. Nice interior. Flat black covers up a lot. Over-spray on the gauges. Why spend all the time and money and not have a dash pad? That looks undone. Otherwise it's pretty cool! http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1366262&rss=1 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 22:28 GMT cool, good to know the headers will work. I was browsing the mustang list and they mentioned the cam and valve springs should be swapped for the Mustang ones. Also the spark plugs are relocated, did that cause any issues with your 940? Thanks http://www.brickboard.com/V8/?id=1365613&rss=1 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 17:07 GMT I'm looking at an explorer engine on EBAY to replace my aging '90 5.0 in my 265. From the info I can find on the web the exhaust headers seem to be different. Does anyone know if my present block huger headers will bolt to the GT40P heads? In other words is the gt40p head that different? The V8 forum is kinda quiet now days. Must be the economy.

Gary http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1359757&rss=1 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 04:36 GMT This is my 69 121. It was a bit of work but worth if. I made cardboard cutouts of the gauges and shoved them around until I could get them to fit. not seen is the fuel and voltmeter behind the steering wheel. Gary http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1351048&rss=1 Fri, 29 May 2009 03:47 GMT Sometime after 1980 the M46 got a shorter first gear. That's when they went to the 3.73 rear end on most cars instead of the 3.91. I had a 1980DL that I swapped in a M46 for a M45 and noticed quite a bit of difference in the first gear. So I guess an earlier M46 would be more desirable except for being used longer and having more wear. I wonder if you could swap out the first gear$$$$. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1347949&rss=1 Fri, 8 May 2009 04:48 GMT Yea I'm hooked. I like the way it plays with your head. So the seen was set in the current time but there were only 122's no newer cars. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1340152&rss=1 Thu, 26 Mar 2009 05:19 GMT To me the alignment rack and it's lasers, computer printout and 4 wheel alignment are great marketing gimmicks. A level a tape measure do just as well. A quick web search for wheel alignment will get a lot of info on this. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1333674&rss=1 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 20:20 GMT Pretty cool video: Andrew White and Ashley Yelds Volvo 122S on Sideling stage Targa Tasmania 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QD3P5edIBFI http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1326749&rss=1 Wed, 21 Jan 2009 03:35 GMT Imagine an exploding ball of fire coming from under your hood! I think that's why you don't see suck through turbo systems much. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1323758&rss=1 Tue, 6 Jan 2009 23:06 GMT Sell the RHD and buy a LHD. Cheaper and a lot easier. If you have tricked out stuff on the RHD move it to the LHD. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1316755&rss=1 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 19:37 GMT My neighbor had a VW that wouldn't pass and I offhandedly suggested that he put a catalytic converter on. We he did it and it passed. He said the smog guy said "that's a strange looking muffler". He didn't know if the guy was serious or not. But the VW passed easily. If your desperate you could try this and remove it after the test like my neighbor. Gary http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1275611&rss=1 Tue, 6 May 2008 04:59 GMT Try looking for item 260231421316. It's still there in my ebay Gary http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1273053&rss=1 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 03:02 GMT Its left hand drive. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1272096&rss=1 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 15:49 GMT I have a 69 121. It has the dual brake setup, a clutch cable instead of hydraulic, a power brake booster directly connected, ignition key on the column and a 4 speed. i put a overdrive tranny in so there is room. The 69 is from outside the states since they were not imported that year. Gary http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1272003&rss=1 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 04:16 GMT Try this guy. He is the weber king as fare as I know. He had parts for my 40dfav.

Is it just converting the fronts or back and front? Gary http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1049771&rss=1 Mon, 13 Feb 2006 22:32 GMT Someone is selling a set of seats on Ebay he claims are for a 122. They sure look like 140 seats to me. Have a look a see what you think.

It was modified with a V8 and sold for 63K. Check it out at: http://www.barrett-jackson.com/auctionresults/common/cardetail.asp?id=178646 Pretty cool! Gary http://www.brickboard.com/V8/?id=1036248&rss=1 Mon, 2 Jan 2006 20:36 GMT I looked through the postings as much as I could and didn't find anything on testing the O2 sensor. Could it have been grounded when the gasket was replaced? Gary http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1009430&rss=1 Sun, 2 Oct 2005 19:14 GMT I was looking at carreview.com for something else and ran accross this about the Hummer H2. This is taken from a review of the H2. I don't own either vehicle at this point. Would never own a Hummer. Gary "A quote from Motor Trend Magazine: "The H2 is big, weighty, expensive, and thirsty. (And it needed a shift into low range to finish a hill climb the Volvo's high-tech AWD scrambled up without drama.)" Imagine off-roading in your H2 and getting passed going up a hill by someone in a Volvo X90. How embarrassing!" http://www.brickboard.com/AWD/?id=1000751&rss=1 Sun, 4 Sep 2005 20:13 GMT yes #4 would only work for a voltmeter. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1000592&rss=1 Sun, 4 Sep 2005 03:27 GMT This would be tough without some major re-wireing in the engine compartment. The alternator wire runs to the large cable from the positive battery terminal. the connection to this cable is on the starter as I recall. All the accesories are connected to the positive battery cable through a smaller wire comming out of the positive battery terminal clamp. Somehow you need one terminal of the ammeter to the battery and the other terminal of the meter to the accessories and alternator. These two connect at differnet points under the hood. I would just get a voltmeter, much more simple. It will tell you the info you need and has much less chance of smoke and fire.
