'75 164 Ignition; Bosch Still Supplies Parts??? Super Bowl Treason! 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be Gary Innes on  Fri Feb 3 05:44 CST 2006 [RELATED]

Greetings All,

Recently I was searching the Bosch Corporation website for spark plugs to fit the girlfriend's Detroit LandMonster. Idle curiosity drove me to check the listings for 164's; I didn't expect to find much for our ancient buggies. Imagine my surprise upon seeing that Bosch lists the mechanical distibutors
for the '71 & '74 models as being available NEW! Same with the '75 electronic unit (Bosch #0-237-300-001; Volvo #461567.) Also, the ignition control unit
(Bosch #0-227-100-006; Volvo #461582) is there, new. Sadly, there is no mention of the delicate coaxial cable that connects the '75 dizzy & ICU; be gentle with it if you've got one. And, no prices were given.
I don't know where you'd go to buy these bits; Volvo dealers say all the above are strictly NLA. Does anyone know of a full-line Bosch mail order retailer?

TOTALLY UNRELATED, but--I just have to ask:
Am I the only one in the country who thinks that the Super Bowl is an over-hyped bore, designed chiefly to pick the wallets of blue (and white) collar Rubes???

Gary in Arizona--with twin 164's--both crippled.
