Does anyone know off hand the part numbers for the fuel injector Orings on my 78 model 244. It has the b21f engine with CI fuel injection. I've searched th web and the information is not very conclusive on that year model. Thanks for any response

Well......it took my grandson exactly 1 hour to screw up a good 78 model M45 4speed transmission. Somehow, he either bent the shift fork inside the transmission or busted a synchronizer or something has gone wrong with the shifter.....I don't know for sure, I've be been ill and haven't looked...

I need a few reverse lockout parts for the gear shifter on my M46 4 speed (without overdrive) on my 78 model 244. I've got 3 spare m46 transmissions that are still in the cars in my bone yard.....a 86 model 245, 81 model 244, and 76 model 242. What's the thought on shifter parts...

My newest acquisition, a 78 model 244 with b21 engine and k-jet injection has a oil leak. I originally thought the leak was from the front crank seal, but that is not it. It appears that the oil is coming from behind the alternator mounting bracket. I know that the lower alternator hole is...

I've got a nice 76 model 242 body with a good m46 4speed w/od. I've given it to my grandson and hope to help him somehow install a good 86 model b230 engine that I also have. The original b21 engine from the 242 is junk because my daughter drove it 8 miles without any coolant and melted...

Well, the jinx continues for me. My wife's 94 940 is in my shop waiting for heater hoses, so I let her drive my 92 model 240 to go shopping yesterday. This car has been running great, so I wince whenever she calls me and mentions my car. Yesterdays call......Check engine light and rough idle...

I just learned how big a pain in the a** it is to change the Heater Hoses on my 94 Volvo 940 B230 N/A. I thought I was going to have to remove the Intake manifold. Not only that, but there are no new hoses in stock at any local auto parts stores. The return hose from the head to the heater...

Driving down the road yesterday in my 93 model 240 B230 N/A. Suddenly the engine skipped a beat and the check engine light illuminated. After that the engine missed on a cylinder for about 2 seconds and the ran OK the rest of the way home, although lacking it's usual performance, good...

A few days ago, I noticed that the horn had quit working on my 92 Volvo 240. The next day I noticed that the headlights wouldn't flash on when I pulled the lever handle. I found this out when I was trying to warn a oncoming driver about a accident ahead. It was then I noticed that the...

I had a strange electrical problem on my 92 model 240 yesterday. I've got a idea what the cause is, but I want to throw the symptoms out there and see if anyone has a theory. Following a short, hard rain. Started the car, everything seemed normal until I turned on the radio, and it would play...

I've got a small Volvo clock that I'm trying to repair to put into my 92 Model 240. I'm going to replace the big, factory clock with a Tachometer out of a 85 Model 245, and install the small clock in the dash. The problem...or rather the question is....... How is the clock grounded? If my...

Are 240 instrument clusters interchangeable from 85 model into 92 model? I have one with a (large) factory tachometer in my 85 model parts car, and would like to put it into my 92 model 240.

I posted on this problem on my new to me 92 Model 240 about 10 months ago. Erratic central locking system and current trickle on fuse #8 resulting in dead battery overnight. At the time, I received some very good advice from "cleanflametrap" and finally got tired enough at not having central...

I've got a quick question. 92 Volvo 240 B230F LH2.4 What should the load (amperage) be on fuse #6? This is the fuse that powers the fuel and ignition system. Fuel pump(s), ignition, fuel injectors....etc. My car is pulling 10.8-11 Amps (16A fuse, 12.5-13V battery), and the Main relay is...

I recently replaced the in-tank fuel pump on my 92 model 240 B230 LH 2.4. It had been so long since I replaced one that I had forgotten just how easy a job it is compared to the 940 series. I replaced the in-tank pump on my wife's 94 model 940 B230 LH 3.1 a couple of years ago, and it left bad...
