I'd love to keep a 240 in the driveway but even with the 240s I've owned I've always stuck to LH2.4 system. My nephew got rid of a nice '81 coupe a few years back that had the fog lights in the grille that I passed on. I guess at my age I'm not willing to learn the K-Jet system nor am I looking for a project where I'd swap things out.

There was a '90 240 available in my area 2 weeks back that had a great body but it had mechanical and interior issues. I easily could have bought it and transferred over the engine and interior, tires, rims, etc. but I'm getting a little long in age and am not into a project at this time.

Just curious, what is this?


Hi, Art.

Presuming you don't mean the plastic bag, that keyhole shaped gasket goes between the upper and lower parts of the 4 cylinder K-jet air/fuel control unit.

Thanks for correcting the link Art. I'm stumped as to what that particular gasket is for. At first I thought it was for the tailshaft housing but that isn't right. It was in my box labelled Volvo Gaskets but I can't place it on the engine nor transmission.

I have to let it go because the rust is starting to weaken structural components. Earlier this year the rear transmission crossmember rusted through and almost dropped the tranney. That was replaced but the channels that it bolts to are getting weak as well. The final straw was the rear trailing arms are so rusty they are getting close to failing. One has a crack where the spring attaches.

Interesting the trailing arm bushings are still original - outlasting the actual trailing arm. Included in the package is a TAB tool and Lemfoerder bushings.
