The dilemma has been solved !! I recalled the wiring to me starter on a old 164E that had a while back. It had 2 spade connectors with a blue and green wire to single pigtail spade at the starter. Well, somebody folded back the green wire to that starter so the blue was the only one connected. And also like I mentioned before there was green loose behind the ignition switch connection within the steering wheel column. But they had the green wires there ass-backwards so when you shut off the key it was actually trying to start then.
Weird scenario but I got it with a little Yankee ingenuity.
Went over all the valve clearances installed a different JFUR4 distributor from me collection of parts, checked compression average 145# and put on a set of SU HS6 carbs . that i had on the shelf. Got it running with gas coming from a yogurt container since the gas tank is shot and so is the 5/16" gas line all the way back to the tank. The B18 is still alive & well !! After sitting 25 years.
Now all I need is a plastic reservoir for my new Centric 13039002 master cylinder. This has the 3 3/8" center to center bolt distance. The original Girling master has 2 separate plastic containers and it doesn't appear that they will work on the Centric master. In fact that new Centric master doesn't even come with the rubber grommets . The O.E. Volvo master cylinder part is 1212406
