hey guy, new volvo owner here. i've got a 72 1800es, and i'm having issues with it. the biggest problem is that it seems to be stumbling at low sustained rpm. it seems to pull normal, and there's no hesitation on acceleration, but below about 3k, driving in town it likes to hiccup. so far i've cleaned the points, and set them at .017 and that helped a good bit, also made sure the efi trigger points were clean. feels kinda like an igniton issue. but i could be wrong. i realize this might be vague, but i'm sure there's usual things to check.

also, the valves are pretty noisy. i set them at .016, and used the method on v classics. i've done this twice, and no dice. they are all getting oil.

thanks.
