Hi folks.
A couple of questions -- We have a 67 122s wagon and are desparate to get it on the road, but are running into a couple of problems with the B18.
First, is there a replacable and available seal at the bottom of the fuel pump? There's a healthy drip of oil coming from it when running.
Second, is it more common for the water temperature sensor to fail, or perhaps could it be the gauge itself? The gauge seems to read much higher than the temp of the coolant, and drops instantly upon throttle inputs. I've checked the actual temp of the fluid by placing a candy thermometer in the rad and it seems to hold steady at about 90 degrees Celsius with good flow of coolant (by which point the needle was well above H). Strange thing was that the moment I shut the engine off, the coolant boiled over. Was this just because the rad cap was off?
Since we're new to the whole volvo scene (only partially true, seeing as my wife grew up with a 123gt, which is what drew us to this car), does anyone have any advice on Canadian resources or contacts in the Toronto area?
Any advice is much appreciated!
Nick and Cath.
