I had this issue when welding up my 360, the spot welds were all over the place and some grouped so close they were touching!
Loving the work

Re: Volvo 360 B200f No Injector Pulse
I haven't played around with the fuel system on a 300 series as mine never had issues like this. If the injectors are batch fired then the easiest way to tell if it is the wiring is to run a wire from one injector earth to the earth point on the ECU and see if it runs. Have you checked for an afterm...

Re: 360 carby fuel supply
Great work as always, I would recommend every few months lubricate the mechanism with ATF, it works wonders in removing rust. I put it on my side cutters and pliers on the pivot every now and then then work them back and forth and watch the rust come out!

Re: Anyone who has any definite answer on the clutch/prop/transmission grind?
Finally, is yours manual and if so can you run it on axle stands or blocks (safety, etc) and see what's going on? For sure it won't happen when you try to locate it ;-0 I had some free time during my last night shift and I went below the car and took a look at all the bushings in the rear. The tran...

Re: 360 carby fuel supply
The pink stuff is OAT (organic acid technology) which is great for aluminium but it attacks cast iron so will be rotting your block. You will need to drain it all and flush it thoroughly then refill with either Comma G48 blue/green or comma super coldmaster.

Re: 2022......2021 300 Goals ?
Well 2021 saw the end of 300 series ownership for me as I sold both of my 360s :( I did absolutely nothing to my 760 turbo apart from change the cambelt and tensioner in an attempt to get it started for the first time in five years, alas the piranha alarm system that is fitted put an end to that. I ...

360 drums and shoes
I have a pair of brake drums that were on my 1986 360, I believe one of them is slightly oval as it had a sticking brake so I changed everything and it solved the issue. If they're of any use to anyone they're free, the shoes have plenty of material left on them and there is only a tiny lip on the d...

I just checked and the thief has not only returned the numberplate for my 940 but refitted it in the exact same manner! Very good of them

Re: 360 carby fuel supply
I found my B200E 360 1986 with the 10:1 compression would buck at a constant speed and would pink if I ran it on 95 (before the switch to e10) so I started using 99 from tesco and it ran perfectly. All Volvos from 1976 apart from the mitsubishi engine 1.8 GDI in the V/S40 are compatible with e10 and...

And gone, Shimon received the 360 on Tuesday and he is very happy with it.
Time to get on with my 760.

Re: 1986 360 GLEi SE restoration and turboing
Shimon came over Tuesday and told me the full story, it is highly suspicious!
Shimon is very happy with the 360 so hopefully next week it will be transported up to him.
