Nope it's not running at all. I need to charge the battery up.

Ah, compounding problems ftw!

swap to B200, run lh2.4 and have reliability?

FTFY :-P

Although depends what rally regs you are shooting for.
Philia_Bear
The later 360's did come with a B200 and 2.4
As long as you just note it as being a 89+ model, not sure what issues you could get into class wise
jamesinc
Yeah 2.4 conversion will be my first port of call if I can't get it sorted out.
jamesinc
This one I believe is LE-Jetronic

According to the 1984 Volvo 360 press release manual which I happen to have sitting on my bookshelf! :P
egads (she/her)
Yup, lh2.1 like vk's.
egads (she/her)
Your best bet would be a couple of Webber's as you would be getting bits from Europe to get lh2.4.
jamesinc
LH-2.4 is easy, there's a guy in California who will send me the whole harness and ECU out of a 240 for like $100 or so
egads (she/her)
Ah, ok. Not plug and play style but adapting 240 gear. Definitely needs b230 then just to make it super easy :-D

havent you got a spare running white block in that V70 ?
jamesinc
I have to be able to enter the car in open-class events, I can't just throw in whatever engine I want.
Also, I spent $400 on the car, I'd rather not spend $4000 on the engine before I've taken it to a single event!
jamesinc
(Also the V70 has low compression on 2 cylinders)
egads (she/her)
Hmm, looks like club rally (cams) and open 2wd (amsag) have a sweetspot for 2l lightly modified and would leave you open and competitive for the most events. I am sure @spac can elaborate further as I haven't done much reg reading.
jamesinc
Woo I got it running. It has vac leaks. Tweaking the hoses solved it, but it's going to need new hoses for, uh, most things. I also noticed it is pissing coolant from the water pump, so I think it's time for a Rock Auto order.

I think that is right. Double check against skandix though.
