NAPA's website is an invaluable tool. They aren't scared of older cars, even Volvos. Look up your parts and call before you even go in.

Even the Volvo dealer can get your parts. Do your parts lookup on www.gcp.se and call the dealer with p/n's. If it's on the GCP website, your dealer can order it. Despite what you might hear, dealer parts prices aren't unreasonable on the older stuff.

Yes, *some* 544/122 bits are generic, common to some obscure US nameplates, but why bother?

The Internet makes life much easier.
