B230 where a B21 was .... 200

posted by  someone claiming to be MIKE on  Sun Apr 11 12:56 CST 2021 [RELATED]

I DID THE URETHANE BUSHINGS AND THEY ARE GREAT - also have 15" Volvo 740 alloy rims Draco - tons of tire types available - the 14" have limited choices. Also got the improved heater valve from Charlie Risen - much better heat control instead of hot or cold - but its not 100% (perhaps 90% - still have to play with it but very, very minor) - also put a stainless heater tube from water pump to heater core

When I had the B230 put in it had fuel injection - and the mechanic put the single carb from the B21 back on - said more reliable - however I did have an issue after 10yrs (the carb at that time was from 1980 - the ethanol from the fuel - I used 94 Octane - put a pinhole in the float - called the fuel supplier and they said they use extra ethanol to boost octane from 91 to 94 - so I now stick to 91 grade - after a new float no issues. Also put an electric fuel pump on

I love the 93 240 - but A/C broken - and Volvo in its 'wisdom' did not provide air vents - only windows - so the old 1980 is better on hot days
