Yes, I've been spending a lot of quality volvo time over the last 6 months... :)

My engine is now in very nice shape. After the death of my 18B I put my 1800's engine and drivetrain into the amazon. The B20E had only 120K on it and the compression tests have shown a pretty even condition - if you discount my insane 0-15 psi readings back when I blew out my head gasket. No oil leaks or noticeable oil consumption. The ignition is Crane/Allison electronic and has always worked flawlessly (except when the timing was all crazy.

I've checked timing and valve lash and adjusted to within spec. My cap and rotor are newer, my sparks are new (gapped to spec), and I've got (not-too-old) magnecore wires.

I'm aware you can't tune a carb that is bolted to an out-of-whack motor, but unless I'm a real bone-head, the engine is not the problem.
