I needed a battery for my 72 142 so I decided to give this battery a try. It is 6" wide, 6" tall. 3" wide and weighs on 15lbs. . It can be mounted any way you wish and comes with set up for top or side post. It has 425 cold cranking amps. I haven't had it for a long time but it cranks...

Tired of searching including VPD site. thanks in advance!

I had a set of Mikuni HSR 42 MM on the green 72 142 that I really liked so I decided to install the 45MMs on my stroker motor. The conventional way to install these is to extend the throttle shaft enough that you can attach linkage with shaft couplers. I decided not to go that route and...

I have one of these distributors but do not have the computer to program with. I have iMacs and iPads only. I can borrow a PC for the job but would like to hear others experience and tuning recommends for my 2.3 B-20 which has 10.5 compression. I have a W/C T-5 with a .88 overdrive and a 3.73...

I have these for sale but I want to make sure they can be used to install an overhead cam motor straight up in a 142 and/or any other vintage Volvo. Has anybody used these or know for sure they will work? Thanks

I got this turbo and the distributor with a bunch of other parts from a volvo enthusiast. big pics so I linked a gallery. The turbo mounting flange is 2.5 x 4 and the exhaust flange is 4 bolt. The distributor is a cable drive tach distributor with a volvo pushrod motor drive dog and...

I plan on monitoring my fuel mixture on my carbed B-20 engine. Research points to an LC-2 innovative system that will work with a Speedhut guage. I want the Speed Hut gauge as I have them in my GT cluster. Problem is that the LC-2 system comes with its own gauge and a controller. It also...

The ring set I have for my engine are a file to fit set. I am having no trouble with the first and second rings with the filer I bought from Summitt racing. The oil ring rails are a different matter though. The rails are so thin and the wheel on the filer is so course that it will not file...

Does anyone know if the 2 piece drive shaft from a 240 series work to replace the two piece in a 142 series? The shafts seem bigger in the 240 if memory serves, and might be a better setup in my 142 for a hotter motor and T-5 trans. Differences in the front shaft are not a problem as it would...

The center caps have the new center decals from Dave Barton. I have two of one set on each side til I decide which I like best.

The holes for the gauges had to be enlarged by .16 of an inch. Found out when I started the install that there was not enough room in the back of the gauges to screw on the mounting ring. So some very careful machining of the holes was required to get the gauges where they would screw into the...

Traded for a nice straight great condition set of Virgos for my 142(thanks again RESURRECTED!). I want to run center caps on all the rims but the from bearing caps on the 142 prevents the install of the center cap. Has anyone addressed this problem and what did you do? the best I can tell...

Putting my motor back together after having the head redone and a cam/lifter install. I bought stuff to redo some of the bad wiring on the motor. When I took off the electrical tape at the plug for the throttle position switch I found that the top two wires were intact, but the third with the...

I have started this second project thread for my 142 because of concerns I have on being able to build this engine correctly. I have successfully built my B23FT in my 242 and several pushrod motors. Before that I built several dependable chevy engines. I have a nice 75 B-20 block for the build...

I can get a complete new kit but it is a six bolt crank. I have a eight bolt 75 block. Can this kit be used in my block? Please let me know as I have no clue but d t want to miss out on a very good deal. thanks!

I need to know where to order a 1' piece of 3/4" inside diameter hose for my turbo drain. This has been covered before but I am unable to locate a source for the type of flexible high temp silicone hose(except for 5 to 10' pieces) that works best for this. I presently have a very stiff...

In the last few weeks I have replaced the headgasket, found a bare wire to the distributor that was causing a random shutdown, replaced the CHRA in the 15G when it suddenly started smoking after the H/G repair. Replaced the rear brakes, fixed broken A/C compressor mount, Cleaned it up today...

I had a lobe go bad on my 280K B-20 cam. I have a VV-61 that should be okay with my D-jet. I have everything apart but I have one lifter that will not come out. It is not on the lobe that went flat either. All seven of the others lifted out with a mechanics magnet. The third lifter from the...

My 15g is leaking oil into the exhaust side and smoking after setting for a while til I replaced the headgasket. The shaft is still tight with no play. I have it off and can see a wet oil spot in the exhaust side. It was showing a oil leak on the mounting flange to the 91+ manifold. The oil...
