Why? If you want fuel injection, my 1975 has D-jet, and you could buy the whole car for almost the same price :)
It starts every time now, the cold start is working, and the plugs are white. The compression is so good, it pings on 87 octane gas! Need to get 89 octane, the manual states 91!!! The tranny still stalls the engine when going into reverse, but only when ice cold, once it is warm - no problem. There is still a slow leak under the tranny, but it only leaks when cold? Interesting how Volvo mated cast iron and aluminum parts.
Thanks, George et al for getting this wonderful machine back on the road. The butt warmer feels good on these 1991 cloth seats.
