It is still sitting there... 200 1980

Could be plug wires. My wifes 240 almost drove me crazy with a similiar problem.
One plug wire (they all looked like new) was laying against the valve cover.
The car cranked and ran fine for about 10 minutes, then would develop a dead miss on one cylinder. Turns out that the insulation on the wire was breaking down when it got hot. I couldn't see or hear a spark. Finally I went out after dark, (as I had a hunch that I was losing fire somewhere) and cranked the engine. Sure enough, after it warmed up, there it was. Thank the lord for the night time. My experience with Volvo's has been to look for the simple things first, cause that's usually where the problem lies.
