I called Quality Coaches on Monday to have my poor car towed to my garage. Tonight, the mechanic called at 6:30 and said that he cleaned the snow off and installed a new battery. While he was at it, he started it up and it ran. A little rough at first and then about one minute later it smoothed out... firing nicely on all 6, and fairly quiet. Still, lots of smoke. So he checks to see where all of the blow by is coming from. He squeezes a vacuum line next to the pump and majic, the smoke goes away, the rpm goes up a little. The vacuum pump no longer works! Easy fix.
So I told him to replace the ATE calipers, put on new rear rotors and pads, and get a new master cylinder (the one on there is bone dry and I don't trust it). Then I can drive it home. The cooling system works nicely, the car idled for 45 minutes. The gas gauge read empty, probably a new sending unit, fairly easy to do. There is a 1973 repair manual which should help me.
I will let everyone know when it gets here and I can inventory all of the problems!
Thanks everyone,
Old Volvos never die, they just need love,

Klaus
