Brickboarders,

I just purchased a 1982 245 GL M46 with 131K miles and a remarkably straight rust free body. It's in that "unique" flesh pink tan color though. I was pleased to see that the motor was a B21F with early LH-Jetronic instead of K-Jetronic.

Does anybody have any information on how many B21F's were equipped with the LH-Jetronic? Is this the LH 1.0 system? When during production did they switch over to LH from K-jet? My car was made in May 1982. I know that 240's went to the B230F's with LH 2.2 for 1983.

Is this LH system basically the same as the one on later rear drive Volvos? I will be restoring this car over the next year and just wanted some insight on the system, because I can't find much information on it.

I just want the warm weather and long days to come back!!

Thanks in advance,



Mike

My Bently book shows '83 to be LH 2.0 but my Bosch FI book by Charles Probst shows 82 - 85 GL's with LH of various versions with approximately 63,000 installed. Also, 83 - 85 DL's with LH of various versions with approx. 132,000 installed.

I converted my '84 245 GL (LH-2.0) to K-jet after both the Computer and the AMS failed. It was over $2000 for the 2 parts. The K-jet conversion cost about $200 and took 40 hours. It ran smoother, got better mileage and had no skanky electronics problems due to bio-degrading wiring.

hi there congrats on your purchase, with many trips to the boneyard and many looks at the odometers the highest mileage volvos i have seen seem to be j-jet. but i know nothing about lh 1.0 thats just my experience. good luck

I believe '82 was the transition, some early cars were K-jet. LH 1 is right and you need the specific AMM for that system, the 001 (later AMMs end 001 but they are not # 0 280 212 001). They are tough to find so grab one if you find a good one.
