  • B280 / Alfa 164 distributor cap & rotor

Volvo p/n 1269920 (or Bosch 03228) for the cap.

Rotor is p/n 1269921 - neither of these are B27 or B28 items, they are B280 only.
I can't help, but is that correct, interchangeable parts between Volvo and Alfa Romeo? Are there any other similar parts? I actually have a 164 and would find it easier to find engine bay stuff in a Volvo at the wreckers than a 164.
Cheers

For those particular parts, yes.

Electrical and FI components in Volvos are common in some other Euro cars. e.g. the B20s share the same dizzy as VW Beetles; there's also K-Jet components from B21s that are shared on BMWs and Mercs; some of the old D-Jet stuff was used on old Porsches, etc.

However the distributor cap and rotor I'm after for this B280F V6 engine isn't used on other Volvo V6s used in 260s, in OZ it's used only in latter model 760 GLEs. And in my 780, which is what they're for.

Try BMWs also. My 760 B280F ran a Bremi 8069R1 cap from a BMW for a number of years - just had to remark the ignition sequence on the cap with a texter. The BMW Bosch equivalent looks to be 03195. Car ran fine with the Bremi. I did change it back to the Bosch 03228 when it eventually needed replacing. All good, and good engines the B280s.

No thanks. Looking for a NOS / new rotor and NOS / new cap only.

I have a surplus of engines at present - like a B230F L block /531+ AW71L, a B6304S + AW30-55, a B234F + AW72L, and LY7 + 4L60, which still need to be moved from the mountains and brought home.

Im at the workshop and thought it was worth a look and i found this will continue the search for a rotor
Guy's, get a grip. Buy an Alfa!
Ps, sold off a 242 2 years ago, and I have a 1990 c70.

They are used on e23 and e28 3.5 engines, rotor cannot comment as fcp used to stock them!
