    white smoke and coolant out the tail pipe

    took the volvo for a spin earlier today. I heard the coolant boiling and pulled over, I saw I was losing coolant from out the resevoir. I waited for things to cool down, and started it up to limp it back home. I had lost basically all my coolant, and the temp gauge immediately shot into the red...

    bettter than stock fuel pump?

    I need to replace the fuel pump for my '82 244GLT with K-jet, does anyone know the specifics on the output of my fuel pump, or know of a better aftermarket pump to purchase? I'm planning some upgrades down the road, and I'd rather spend a bit more to get a higher output pump now if I need to. thanks

    timing adjustment clarification

    I've got a '82 244 GLT that purrs like a kitten after basically rebuilding the engine, but when I get it out of the driveway and throw it into gear it bogs down. I'm hoping its my timing, but I've never adjusted the timing before. I've got my timing light, my timing belt cover (with 10, 20, 30...

    timing light info needed

    I'm trying to adjust the timing after replacing my timing belt, but I've never used a timing light and I'm a bit lost.
