Back to work on the 1800
After many months I have started putting some hours back into the 1800 project - well because it would be nice to have a 2 car garage again and 1800 running.
I solved my distributor gear problem - fairly easy to find TDC with the timing cover off. I also found that missing spring clip - turns out I took it off for safe keeping so it wouldn't fall off.
In the mean time I solved the distributor problem by purchasing a new solid state 123 Distributor so I do not need to modify the old one work with an electronic system. Murphy's Law spending $400 to replace and upgrade then find the $1 part that kept the old one from functioning. Of course the old one is sad shape and is a rusty worn mess.
Next part I missing: #15 in the throttle linkage
It might have been around my workbench for powder coating.
Specifically part number 15 below - it wasn't with the throttle linkage or carbs since I most likely took it off just prior to sending the car for media blasting and painting. I can order part number 23 that is missing as well as a rare flange o-ring once CVI comes back from vacation unless I find someone in the states with the part.
It is a good thing that Volvo spun off their parts for older cars - GCP
I figure it is in a box of interior parts and not the engine parts since I stripped the interior after pulling the engine - better start digging.
