more hp out of a 164 140-160 1972

Take about .050 off the bottom of the head as long as it is off, and disconnect the vacuum retard to the distributor. Check the thickness first simply to ensure it hasn't been done before - Volvo specs will indicate within reason what the expected CR is at various thicknesses. It won't make it a rocket sled, but it will be quite a noticeable difference.
