--if you get NO movement from the tach while cranking

REPLACE

the ignition amplifier !!!Thank you Thanky you Thank you to the person(s) that posted that -I've been turning wrenches and clicking mouses for quite some time

I think it's also been called the ignition control unit or power stage.

now if I could only have some help with the vacumn lines on a butchered (not by me) k-jet..I've got the left most nipple on the intake manifold open with no apparent lines to plugin and a nipple under the manifold -where the throttle switch should be:
..there is a solenoid on the firewall that has a vacumn line from the distributor and another that is not plugged in anywhere...the schematic on the car tells me nothing..the bentley 83-93 tells me nothing..the haynes tells me nothing ...my mostly incomplete set of volvo manuals tells me nothing ..the archives are making my brain mush
Someone help Please
