George and JohnMC...thank you very much for your replies to my earlier message ('Easter Amazon').

I believe (but haven't looked, as this was somewhat of an impulsive purchase) that the rear brakes are drums. Can disc brakes from a p1800 be fitted? Would this necessitate swapping the entire rear axle? I wonder what final drive ratio I would end up with. I know that the car currently has a 4.10 rear axle, but can't remember if the p1800 is a 4.30 or 4.56. I'm assuming that either of these ratios would give me better acceleration off the line at the expense of top end speed.

I'd like to replace the front seats as they are well worn and lack headrests. I have been told that the front seats from a 140 series can be installed with relative ease. How about 240 buckets? I have, in addition to the 940 and Amazon, an '85 244 turbo parts car. I bought it on the cheap nearly two and half years ago with the intention of 'restoring' it, but soon realized that I was in way over my head (it needs head work, a new turbo, clutch, exhaust, and so forth). Anyway, it has a very nice pair of black leather buckets that aren't being put to good use (or any use for that matter!) at the moment. Is this a DIY swap? How much fabrication is involved?

I'm fairly certain that she originally sported dual carbs, and at some point was converted to the Weber for economy reasons. According to volvoworld.com, the difference between the dual carb B20 and the single carb B20 is one of about 28 horsepower!! Is regaining this 'lost' power as easy as tossing on a pair of SU's, or were there other differences between the B20A and B20B engines?

Was black a factory paint color in '67?

Thanks for putting up with me, guys. I appreciate the help. I've learned quite a bit more from reading the messages on Brick Board than I have from reading repair manuals. :-)

Take care.
