Re: 76 volvo 66GL questions!
Still having tuning problems with my 66GL. I think the valve lash is wrong. I tried adjusting it by following the instructions in the shop manual, but a combination of that and the carb needing tuned is causing the car to not run. It is backfiring through the carb and out the intake. I've replaced a...

volvo/DAF 66 carb rebuild kit
Turns out my big leak is coming from my carb. I'm trying to find info on what kind of carb the car has. The only thing I found in the manual is that it has a Solex 32. There are alot of different listing for the 32. I see a EHSA rebuild kit listed for a DAF 66, Is the solex flange universal? could I...

I noticed the transmission is leaking something too. what is the main gasket that usually leaks on the vario? I think its coming from ...

340 intake+carb
I'd like to upgrade the intake and carb on my 1.3L to the bigger/better one from a 340. Hopefully these are similar to junk to you guys, but should give me a few more ponies in my little CVT-wierdling. I saw a manifold to adapt webbers to the 1.4, not sure if that'll work for me. Anyone have a stock...

I'm on the hunt for a head rebuld kit...the only one i've found is from NL for $150USD. You guys said that 1289 (1.3L) engine is in all the little renaults over there, do you have a parts store that can get a head rebuild kit for a reasonable price? Over here we have chain parts stores that have par...

that's interesting about the 1.7L swap. What do you mean the prop was too short, I think I'm misunderstanding what you are calling the prop. Are there any carbs that are an upgrade to the little solex that's on my engine right now? the 1.7 has a webber I think...In the family of these engines, are t...

76 volvo 66GL questions!
Hi, I'm new on these forums, the DAF forums seem to be pretty dead regardless of which continent they are on. After doing some research, I found out that the early 340s are very similar to my silly RHD thing. My car was sitting in a guy's yard since 1988. I spent a month off and on getting it up and...
