Long rant: My Volvo is a garage hog. 200 1982

Hi Bob;
Sounds like you have a few repairs yet to go. But keep in mind that the ones you have done, will be done for years.

As to the Toyota thoughts, find a 1982 Toyota that is worth driving. As you will be unable to, find a nice early 90's Camry V-6 instead- you'll fall asleep driving it, it will seem so boring. Until of course it pops one or more of its head gaskets, which they all do, and suddenly you'll be out about $3000.00 (Canadian) for a dealer repair. That will wake you up.

Mind you, if the 240 has a bad heater fan, brace yourself.

Now those 122's - heater fan takes 10 minutes. Do you still need any carbs rebuilt for one of them?
Rhys
