So I'm in the process of swapping in a 15G + exhaust into my 88 760, while trying to keep it looking sorta factory like for the smog guys. Most of the other "hey I did a 15G swap" posts tend to go the turbobricks route of just cut the damn thing and clamp a hose on it. A lot of this will be...

What size (> 19mm) open wrench am I gonna need for the bolt that goes into the block?

Sigh. So I put door panels from a 1990 760 on my 1988 760. Volvo changed over to the mesh speaker grille in 1989. I thought it'd be nice to have the mesh speaker covers and such, especially since the vinyl was peeling on the RF door panel that I had. It's mostly a direct fit, however some...

'88 760 Tach drops to zero for whatever period of time (usually a few seconds... grr) or tach does not move whilst cranking the engine. Hall sensor and/or power stage are the primary suspects, right?

I think I'm legally and morally obligated to not post the rest of the pictures. Suffice to say, who knew cute girls were into cars (Stylie aside). <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/19417968@N00/1503370383/" title="Photo Sharing"><img...

So that got me thinking. I've got a set of Billy HDs for the wagon... but I wasn't too thrilled with the overall ride when they were in my green wagon. It does the leaping over crests in the road. It's a little bouncy over the corrugated sections of road. The car in question, gold wagon, is...

So the other day, on my way home, the ECC decided that the interior was sub-zero. So... on any position but max cold, I get a blast of hot air. :grrr: It's not flashing any codes. So. Where do I start looking? Will the interior temp sensor fail in this way without setting one of the temp...

So I'm putting some '95 960 seats into my 760... and all I need now are the proper seat belts. I grabbed a pair from a '92 940, but they've got the electrical/pyrotechnic tensioners which I can't (for obvious reasons) hook up. Volvo sez that the 91 940/960s have mechanical pre-tensioning...

So time to replace the 11 year old rubber. Ordered an appropriate blade for a V90 from FCP Groton and got a Bosch 40713 ~13" Micro Edge wiper. This is not the proper blade. The metal is too thick to clear the riveted plate that secures the wiper arm to the plastic cover, and the proper...

So it's time for new tires :grrr: again. I'm lookin at 205/55-16s for the Hydras. Price is a big factor, so I've been eyeing the Kumhos. Wet traction is important, but I figure even a W rated summer tire is gonna be better than what's on the car now. Tirerack has the ASXs and SPTs at the...

They're awesome. They practice the drums. :grrr: w00t. wrong forum.

So if any of you guys have had to deal with the backlight for the ambient temperature gauge, you know that it uses a unique base. Yuck. However, if you take a small screwdriver, you can pry the bulb out of the base quite easily. Just push the two retaining tabs in and slide it up a little...

Meh.

So I'm trying to run a ground wire to the block right under the hood release ('89 760). I've got the appropriate sized terminals (Noble #560D), they're uninsulated and have little wings (instead of a circle with a seam in it that you smoosh). I'm a little put off that these are rated for 12-18...

So I've got two ambient temp gauges. One came from a 95+ 960, one from a pre-95 model. The 95+ one was the first one I got, and I installed it the last time I had the dash apart. The black doesn't quite match, but it's got a neat snowflake around the LED, so I left it in there. Thanks to...

The SRS light magically came on in my 760, so I figured now'd be as good a time as any to replace it with a proper steering wheel. Soooo... what sort of non super rare/spendy options are there?

Just got Firefox to prompt me to download index.php... a few times in a row... ehh.... is the server dying again?

So the front door speakers are cutting out in my '89 760. There are six speakers total (2 dash, 1 per door). Soo... What other factory amps fit? I see two power and ground wires, am I right to assume that this means the separate power for the front & rear speakers? Do these usually fail...

This is tits' car. Big video, slow link, sorry. https://blarf.homeip.net/~alex/DSCF0629.AVI (small) https://blarf.homeip.net/~alex/DSCF0630.AVI (big) Any ideas?

Indeed part number 3533380 is the nifty plug and play adapter. Hooks right up to the factory harness. Now to fix the whole front door & dash speakers cutting in and out problem. :grrr:
