Recently came upon a "free" 1967 122 with odd-ball pieces. Engine was the b18b but in serious need of an overhaul so I proceeded to find a used B20B from a wrecked P1800.
As I tinker with the bits I find that the distributor on the b20b is an iron bosch with a oval tag that claims it is a VJU 4BL 33. Right. Anyone know the original application for this pup? I can get a pertronix conversion for it (listed on their web-site under the Bosch listings but no applications) so it must be relatively common. Oh, yeah, it has "VOLVO" cast into the housing near the pinch-bolt location.
I expect it will work, but I don't really want a wildly inappropriate application. I will be "freshening" the b20. Since it got bopped in the accident and dented a few things I had to dis-assemble to ensure all was well inside. It will be used to primarily move the little sedan about town with a few autocrosses thrown in because I just have to. It will keep the twin SU's and perhaps gain a custom 2 1/4 inch exhaust but nothing wild.
Thanks in advance,
Mike!
