Hi Bob. Your '89 240 with B230F and AW70 trans has a very similar power train to your '95 940 B230FD and AW71L so will run at similar rpm at the same road speeds with one major exception and that's the lockup torque converter that kicks in at around 80 kph. The first thing to figure with the 240 once you get it running is if it shifts up into overdrive 4th. A good trans fluid flush would perhaps be something to put on the do-list if the shifting was of concern to the previous owner.
Some basic diagnostic testing will hopefully soon have you on the trail of the no-start. Same LH 2.4 diagnostic system so once you've verified fuel pump noise for the in-tank and main pump when switching the key on then start by checking for any codes at the diagnostic connector and doing the OBD diagnostic tests as described in the FAQ. A classic no-start that previous owners often miss is a bad CPS, so inspect the cable carefully at the standoff clips and especially down at the bellhousing. Wouldn't take long to swap in a known good spare CPS if you have one.
