Awr-i-g-h-t, this is the kind of info I (or anyone else) can take to da' BANK!!!
Thanks, Shayne. The Pertronix set was, in fact, bought from you guys, so the set up info came by way of a detour!
Are the 140 series vacuum retard type good for anything besides parts? Or are they just an historical artifact of Volvo's attempt to get their engines effluvium to be cleaner? Glorified paperweights? I must have 6 or 7 of them.

Any ideas about the Mallory electronic dizzy I mentioned?

I've been pulling vacuum advance units off of Saabs (900 series?), and they seem to work OK on Volvos.

Also, on Saabs, all the hose clamps are the original Swedish type, the good ones
that don't "cheese grater" the hoses, like the generic clamps.
