Default Before & After Pics 86 240

Check these pics of my engine bay. I swapped a great 740 Turbo fuel rail and injectors for my 240...I like the position of the Fuel pressure regulator being atop...it gives you more room to work on the flame trap or Idle air control Valve.

New:
Alt; IAC; Coil; All gaskets; Fuel pumps & Filter; Tranny Juice; water pump; plugs; wires; cap & dist cap; Air Filter; All Fluids;

To Come:
Shocks & Struts; Radio; brake pads; master cyl; brake booster; power steering pump; paint.

Thanks

Yes, I am guilty. red fram filter. I drive 400+miles weekly and wasn't able to buy the oem filter at my local volvo shop. Yes, the 740 steering kit for a 240 would be nice.

All those degreasers leave the block "too clean", and stuff corrodes and rusts right away. I use Stoddard solvent, makes stuff nice and pretty, but leaves a coating so things don't immediately get nasty.

That is, when I do clean anything. I haven't actually washed my car in a year...
