Hello and thanks for the input. I'm really hoping it's the spark plug wire that's going to cylinder #1. The metal spark plug connector (spring?) that is present on all the other wires is completely missing from that one. I won't know for sure until Tuesday when my new Bosch set arrives. I miss those old universal style wires that looked like the dizzy to coil wire and clipped directly to the spark plugs. Anybody make these anymore?

Should the wires alone not do the trick, I saved the points and condenser when I converted to Pertronix and can give them a go. As far as timing is concerned, I've played around with that and that doesn't solve this issue. The coil is a new Flamethrower and the battery is all charged up. I don't think it's the carb, since both DGVs had been rebuilt relatively recently and the event occurred with rebuilt HS6 SUs (I don't think those lost pieces were that relevent to simply starting the car).

I'll let you know what I find out. Maybe I can return this old Volvo into a daily driver yet.
