Draco, 18" x 8"

As the title says, the Lambda Sond light on my dash came on today but there were no changes in the way the car ran. '81 240 turbo, k-jet. *No rough idle, A/F gauge still oscilates from rich to lean all the time. *I was hesitant to do it, but WOT still feels the same, no bucking or anything...

It appears that IPD no longer sells them, maybe I just cant find it on their site? Do I have to go to the dealership to get one? What have you used to get the retaining nut off without using an impact wrench, and without cutting up a socket and welding a handle onto it? I guess, what "off the...

I was wondering if there would be any ill effects of shortening the tube that goes down toward the oil pan from the breather box of the pcv system. Maybe someone has done this? I couldn't find anything by searching. The reason I'm asking is that I always have alot of oil in the charge pipe and...

I went out and bought hockey pucks for a temporary fix for my dead passenger side engine mount, and I never knew that they were so freakin' hard. When I was at the store they had practice pucks that are just hollow. That got me thinkin', cause I've heard of places "injecting" stock engine...

I've just decided napa sucks cause they dont even list the turbo 240's, so the only air filter they had was the flat one for non-turbos. Where have you gone to get a replacement filter, or a better one, even? I've heard about the k&n filters, but they only have a round one and a flat one, not...

It is an '81 240 turbo. This is my dad's old car, its still in his name, but I have more money in parts in my room for it then what the car is worth...so I consider it mine.:lol: Plus he doesnt want it anymore and hasn't driven it in years. This car was left at my grandparents house sometime in...

As some of you may have read in my last thread, about a week ago I tried cleaning my fuse box with a wire brush while the battery was hooked up and the ingition was on. Ooops:oops: After I did that, when I turned the key the fuel pump made no sound, and no warning lights on the dash lit up. If...

ME!!!!!:rant: A couple days ago I got a Autometer boost/vacuum gauge and an air/fuel ratio guage. I decided it would be cool to hook them up, so I pulled out the little clock and the stock boost gauge and started testing wires with my meter. Somehow I blew a couple fuses, so I replaced them...

I've been doing some researching, and I think that my cpr is part of the reason my 240 doesn't like to start, and why the car is running so lean. So I'm trying to take it apart to see if there is a blockage that is raising the control pressure. Here is where I am. (I'm not going to mess with...

I just have a simple question. Will the hood from a 144 fit onto my '81 242?

I'm putting a 90+ exhaust manifold onto my car. I have the support bracket for the manifold, and the holes for it line up perfectly with a couple of protrusions on the side of the engine block. Here is the bracket: Here are the parts that stick out of the block: (really dirty, I know) I am...

Here is the pcv flame trap that came off of my car. Car is an 81 240 turbo with the stock b21ft. When I took it off, the middle section was wrapped in electrical tape to block off the hole in the middle. I did a little research, so I know that there is a spot for a small vacuum line that was...

Hi all, I'm pretty new to volvo's and I'm just looking for a little clarification. I've heard about the better flowing '90+ exhaust manifolds, and was wondering if a b230ft out of a '93 945 turbo would have the better flowing exhaust manifold, and if so would it mount up to the b21ft in my '81...
