340 have either been equipped with a solex or a weber carb, not a volvo carb! volvo simply imports its stuff from other part suppliers and puts it own packaging/labels on it.. for the same reason i don't understand why people desperetly want just "volvo" shit on their cars, since 99% of those products isn't even volvo in the first place...

Ah, but the "blue box" adds a certain magic to the part And $$$ too, unfortunately.

Half the problem is not always knowing who made the original. But if you stick to a known brand, you can't go far wrong ...
