Help, I bought an old Volvo, now what do I do?

Hi Mark,
Adding to the suggestions so far, I'd urge you to get the Bentley 240 Service Manual. Although it says its for '83 thru '93 240's, it will cover most everything you need—engine, ignition, FI (close, yours is like the turbo version but simpler), brakes, etc.

Check online for prices. The Bentley is/was $30 at eeuroparts. Spend $9 more and shipping is free. To me the organization, graphics, and indexing alone are far superior to the Haynes. (NOTE: This price was several months ago)
