Word gets out when you're a Volvo farmer and people call you to help them get Volvos out of their driveways. #21 is a '73 (I believe) 144. Fuel injected, manual transmission. Starts and mostly runs, though roughly. Couldn't warm it up due to huge fuel leak at hose at right rear of tank. Going to fix the fuel leak (it appears to just be a split hose) and attempt to drive it home next week.
So who likes Djet? I've got a rusting hulk of a 73 1800ES with the remains of a Djet system on it as well, so I've probably got some spare parts. I've read a little bit about these systems on Vclassics. They seem to be reasonably simple and robust FI systems and probably require less fiddling than SUs. Possibly get better milage and power too?
What's my transmission likely to be? If it's got an overdrive, can I figure this out without looking under the car? Where would they put the switch for it in '73?
That's all for now. I'll post a picture of it when I get it home. It's got some rust but I only had to give $250 for it.
