I was looking over the harness a few days ago but not under the crank and from what I could tell the wire looked good. I'll take a better look around the crank pulley. Injection harness is an updated harness.

From what your saying you think the distributor that volvo was replacing the chrysler with was also in the 85? The 1 part being a distributor? So should the 85 distributor work then with an 83 ignition? Thanks for the help. All I've got from the different parts sites is that the 83-84 distributor is different from all the others. Maybe just by number? But it seems like people would have picked up on the ability to swap years by now if it where possible.

I'm wondering why this b23 bosch distributer is so expensive. (link) Maybe its just the replacement that volvo made for those who wanted to replace the Chrysler without having to swap out the ignition harness too. That would explain the high price since there where most likely a limited number of them made special for the swap? Thats my guess at this point since I've also heard that the bosch in the B23's didn't have this round plug but I'm also thinking maybe that would have been for the late 84's now that I think of it. Hopefully that explains why its so difficult to find a new replacement. Maybe no one realizes the L2.2 bosch is ok with the L2.0.
