Right, in a roundabout way bringing this thread back to the original question...
7176 is currently hanging around at Baltimore docks and will be getting on a boat next Tuesday. I'm pretty sure that I'd like to upgrade (although maybe that's a matter of opinion :lol: ) the fuel system to the Volvo bits to give it a bit more oomph (similar to Dan's DGS and Claire's spec). Apparently it can be a bit tricky to get hold of some of the bits so I thought if I'm going to do it I ought to get going in advance, i.e. now!
The question is, what bits do I need to get hold of? A little bit of searching the forum tells me I'll need at least:
Volvo metering head (0438 100 120, 0438 100 006 - are these as good as each other, and also known as a dizzy?)
Volvo venturi (is this some kind of pipe thing?)
Volvo inlet / throttle body?
Plenium?
Any help would be much appreciated, and also any information about where I might be able to get hold of any of these bits!
Thanks all, looking forward to January...! :lol:
