    Vintage 1967 220 with a B20

    I finally cracked into it to see what the damage is...LOL...making room for a B20 rebuild on my plate...it's the warden's car so I'd like it reliable but a little north of "stock" for fun... I'm sticking with the twin SU's as they just need a rebuild/polish...the head has double-valve springs...

    240 '88 244 GL failed Cali smog again

    [/URL][/IMG] Two years ago, it had high NOX and needed a new cat. Replaced with a new cat + a JY AMM and air filter at the time. The car runs pretty well. I use Chevron 91 when I can but it usually gets Shell 91. Anyone else pull similar numbers? If so, what was your solution? Thanks...

    240 OBD Code 2-1-2: O2 sensor

    Hey Gearheads, The wife's '89 245 (LH 2.4, auto) had the "check engine" light kick-on so I started diagnosing. The OBD unit gave only the one code: 212. 3-4 months ago I replaced the O2 sensor and the light did reset. The car still runs great but has to pass emissions. This model year does not...

    '88 245 sending unit

    I mounted a new UK-made pump (ipd) into the assembly, no problem. I went to re-wire the terminals atop the pump and found the positive side had the wire broken at the base tab. I went to solder it but can't get it to bond. When manufactured, I can see they actually fished the wire through...

    '89 244 Timing Question

    Car: '89 244, LH 2.4, AW70, 200K+ miles... I just replaced the motor mounts in my son's car as they both were completely shot. The passenger side was riding so low, the oil filter was braced-up against the mount (whew). As expected, the engine had a lot of movement when running, with loping...
