Volvo number twelve. And a question. 200

Couldn't resist. 80 -83? 245 at the junkyard with an engine and M46. $100. Windows, headlights, lenses are mostly broken out, it had another car sitting on top of it so the roof is sorta crushed in. I want it for a transmission/ rear end donor for the '81 GLT (non turbo). Anyway, I didn't check the VIN for the year but something puzzles me. I thought this was a Kjet car, 4 rectangular headlights, no AMM or injector wiring. However, the system on my '81 GLT has a big rubber donut looking air-connector under the throttle body and this car appears to have the throttle body pointing towards the fender with a different routing to the airbox. Anyone know what I'm seeing here?

I'm going to have to buy another junker here soon or else the 544 I'm getting in May will be #13. Don't want the 544 to be unlucky.

    You're looking at a car with LH 2.0 (most likely) or LH 2.2. The LH systems have an air mass meter on the LF fender, that the throttle body connects to with a big rubber hose.
    An 85 would have LH 2.2.
    An 83-84 would have LH 2.0.
    It could even be one of the late-1982 cars with LH 1.0 injection - they're pretty rare but there are some out there.
    The VIN will tell you:
    The 10th digit is the year. It's a letter- A= 1980, B= 1981, C=1982, D=1983, E=1984, F=1985, G=1986.
    Have fun?!?
