Don't worry, the Outback will be on call for rescue missions again.

David and I are gonna drop his car off @ Radwood in SF then head over after a little bit.

Trust me, I'm more surprised than you are.

Where do people like to stay that isn't the Motel 6? I'm gonna have company with me and I figure it might be nice to stay somewhere that... isn't the Motel 6. :lol:

Hi all! Once again, SacVCOA is calling upon the good photographers of the Volvo community with an opportunity to share their photos. Currently, we are looking for photos from Davis 2017 which may be used in an article about the event that will be published in the VCOA national magazine...

Hi All, Months ago, the shifter on my M47 was complete garbage, so I dropped some coin and picked up a set of bronze bushings. Those tightened it up a bit, but it's still considerably looser and ****tier than either of my other cars (09 VW / 74 VW) with stock shifters and it's also worse than...

Hi all, Tried to do a search but couldn't, don't know why. I was curious if anybody has used MSD 6AL ignition on a Volvo, and if so, what did it take to get running? Looking at the wiring for the 6AL leads me to believe that it could essentially replace the chrysler box in my car. It takes...

Hi everyone! So my '86 doesn't start. No tach bounce on cranking. Cranks no issue, main relay clicks and it gets fuel but no spark. It's been a while since I've owned or needed to diag a Chrysler car so I was curious if anybody had a no spark diagnostic flowchart (or can type something up) for...

So I'm pretty sure I've already figured this out or at least a large portion of it but I'll ask TB. Just got this car home today and in first and second, the whole car surges back and forth and shakes unless you let the clutch out very, very slowly. Third and up is fine. The motor mounts in...

Just got it. Needs a ton of work. Combination of age and neglect. Engine runs pretty solidly. The motor mounts are shot and so are the shifter bushings so it doesn't drive very well. Wicked shake in the front end over 55 or so. Power steering doesn't work, one of the windows is broken and it...

So traditionally we've stayed at the Motel 6 in Davis @ 4835 Chiles Rd. I'm not going to be spearheading a hotel "group buy" or anything but I figured it might not be a bad idea to have a thread for everybody to figure out their accommodations. I'm willing to sleep on the floor of somebody's...

1987 764ti B230FT AW71. Car was dying randomly. Engine wiring harness was ****. Replaced wiring harness. Car started and ran for a minute or two before stopping. No spark after it stopped. Charged the battery up (which was flat from sitting for almost 2 months), popped it in. cranks, but...

So the 760 is getting no spark and I decided to diag it a little. no spark coming from the coil. coil measured at .9ohms from the side terminals, 8k ohms from side to center. Is this okay or out of spec?

So the 760 was dying, apparently it'd run for a little then shut off. Wen to go check it out, massive vac leak. pulled the hose and it died. Fixed the hose. Engine then cranked, but didn't fire. Started at square one: checked fuel pump fuses, because I didn't hear the pumps running. Fuses fine...
