what's the most reliable - advice?

posted by  someone claiming to be Matt on  Mon Oct 29 06:43 CST 2001 [RELATED]



Hi all. I previously owned a '74 144 and I'm thinking about buying another old Volvo. I want it to be a long-term daily driver. I like the older ones, but if I do get another one I want to maximize the practical.

For this reason I'm thinking 140 series, b20e or b20f, so I don't have to deal with synchronizing carbs or with a retrofit Weber (my 144 had one, and it was not a positive experience). I'm also hoping for better mileage. What kind of mileage do these get? I recall getting somewhere in the mid-20's with my Weber-equipped 144 B20B. Does anyone have personal experience with the fuel injection? Thanks for any help!
