Thanks Trevor,

I checked out the websites and they have a lot of information. I am new to the carbureted engine world as I got the car this June and all I really ever did with carbureters before was clean out the bowl of a Tecumseh lawnmower. I just got the Weber Carburetor Manual from Chapters which includes a lot of maintenance detail. I also downloaded the Volvo service manual for carbureted fuel system on http://www.scribd.com/.

I like the simplicity of the carbureted engine (very few wires in the engine bay), but my fuel economy is worse than my 86 with B230F. I have to learn how to tune/tame this beast. Do you know where to get rebuild kits for Zenith (hopefully same store as SU) here in Canada? I also want to get a spare carburetor. I also have to watch out when ordering parts online from the US since they usually have B21F parts for an 82.

I lucked out for the body of the car. It spent 20 years in BC and looks mint compared to my 86. I need to do a little light body work this summer and I'll rustproof it in the fall. I'll also clean out the rocker panels via those plastic plugs. I never knew those existed before I took out the carpet on my 86 to put in new floor after the old ones rusted through.
