If thats on the same dizzy cap and rotor arm as when you got it I'd chnge those first. Mine returns 230 out of £20 (23 ish litres) on a run at 70mph, and I'll get between 100 and 140 out of £20 doing town driving.

I was going to say that the air filter was so shiny it looked like chrome, but looking closer, have you spray painted parts silver?

Post by **germ** » 21 Mar 2007 11:34 pm

thanks and yes its spayed but not with crome in a can, this is a new beta spray in testing which has real chrome particals very small bits and a new formular that sticks it togetther,

you polish it up and every thing with metal polish

very cool stuff,it was free as i test it,and resistes 150c,
unlike crome in a can which surports 50 or somthing.

but it may not go into production as problems,that.. i have not yet found

any way its cool stuff

and thats for your comments

Cheers
will

Germ one question...since you got your volvo the way you got it , did you change the electrical panel above the power supply or you just changed the wires to keep it electrical problem - free ?

BTW, strange looking distribution cap and on different place than on 340.

thats the standard place for the fuse box on the 1.7

Post by **classicswede** » 22 Mar 2007 11:17 pm

Std location for all models.

Will as mick had been pointing out all the things wrong I thought i should let you know that you have 400 series ignition leads not 340 ones

Post by **germ** » 22 Mar 2007 11:30 pm

cut them down to size...

Relax germ, as you can see it goes like hell.

I only asked if you changed it ( i 've seen the state of the car when you got it, but i didn't see the interior of the fuse box. ) Since my Volvo was in garage for 15 years without moving ( open type garage ) i do not know if that box ever needs changing or just use standard cleaning ( rust remove ).

No it won't harm anything, but 400 series is not as good as 300 series.
