So beautiful to see so many classic Volvos outside Sweden!!
I dont mean to be offtopic but does any of you know a method to get back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost my password. I would love any tricks you can give me.
@Yousef Matthew Instablaster =)
@Jensen Byron i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Jensen Byron it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my ass !
@Yousef Matthew glad I could help :)
Did have a 4 door Amazon many years ago , tuned it up with 2 inc eksos and Isky cam . It was a 67 modell , best car i ever own . Never any problems , very comfortable for long runs Oslo /Stockholm who i did many times . regards from Norway .
ran for 300k miles a 121 wagon with a bored and stroked motor ,2.3 litre ran a full race cam on 13/4 su,s , i also had a 48 webber set set up , i was towing a trailer , so the su,s were more driveable and a far better economy,even with a small trailer[superkarts and spares]this thing would go 130 plus ,in 4th even though i ran a o/d ,7k in 4th , i retired it and never had the time to restore it , a sad end to a wonderfull rocket
5.20, there you go! Great looking, and sounding Volvos. Cheers from Hisingen, Gothenburg, Sweden!
Awesome to see😁👍👍. Greatings from Sweden. And i so some wunderbaums too🎄🎄
As a Volvo 122S driver-owner-enthusiast during1970's, this got me drooling.Volvo was big here in RSA.One word describes Volvo 122 series to a T: " character".Nothing on the road today ,can touch it.My dream Volvo has been, still is the 123 GT.
Amazing to see that P1900. Friends got one of them, such a special car that is.
What number is his chassis?
Oh Mr Roger Fritch, that gentle giant. Gotta love that guy
Nice work, your Amazon is comparable with an old Ferrarri , literally has much in common.
Wow, that was cool! Just found your channel. I have a 1953 PV 444 myself. Greetings from Sweden /Peter
I'm glad you're here. Check out my rebuild videos and other Volvo adventures over the years 😎👍
@@DavidBello Thanks David, I definitely will! You've done a very good job with your channel. Welcome to check out my projects too.
Awesome, love that you guys keep these icons alive
This reminded me of my first drive in a B20. After years behind B18 engines in 100K mile Amazons, I bought a '71 144 with that odd tuned-intake B20. My first move was to pull the extra throttles and install my good HS6s.
Even in the stock, heavier 140, what a revelation! Just that tiny bit of displacement made such an improvement in driveability. In a 544 it would be a loads of fun.
Ah man, there's an incredible, twisty road right there that goes through the middle of town. Head South at the flagpole and you'll be on the back road to the 246 highway outside of Buellton. I can't believe I missed SLO Rolling again!! Thanks for the vids!
Hope to see you there next time!
Swedish steel, it is wonderful that you appreciate what we Swedes have made. That's one reason why I love the United States.
I live vicariously through you
Excellent video quality. Best Volvo channel
Those webers make the car with the tacho sound great.
In spite of the ridiculos gas prices, horrible traffic and the fact that the whole place is burning down, you guys in California still get to drive your Volvos in Mid-October whereas I had to already put mine to sit over winter.
I think it only sounds worse than its actually been. Life feels pretty normal for the majority of the time. The earthquakes roll through very briefly as well 😉
Volvo Amazon b18 the best car ever buildt ! 122s overdrive!
Hey David, that "let off throttle, wants to go more" thing is standard on mechanical ignition cars, what's happening is that there's still a good amount of mixture in the manifold when you lift and lifting increases the timing significantly. Modern vehicles don't do that at all. Though with a standalone you CAN set them up to do just that, however it's super annoying. You can also put so much timing into low load areas that it'll surge under engine braking and down hill etc. There are practical drive-ability reasons for not tuning in certain ways, not just economy or power or reliability reasons.
As my summer car i run a 1966 with a bored and stroked b20.
B21 turbo pistons, isky cam, cromolly pushrods,46/38 valves, dual springs. weber45s, and a bucket more parts.
With 4:10in the rear it revs out on 4th gear at 8500rpm with points ignition. (Breaker Less it used to rev to 10000rpm)
Topped out at 235 km/h (146mph)
I'd like to hear a B20 rev to 10k rpm, better yet I'd like to see a video of the engine pieces on the garage floor.
So fun to watch we only have 3 running 240's in Farmington NM.
I used to live in ABQ and always drove through Farmington on my way to Colorado
I miss my 66 Volvo 122 estate . B 20 with electric o/d..two su's.
Loved that 'giant suckin' sound' as Ross Perrott used to say.
Miss my early 80’s 240. Sigh. But now I drive a 2020 XC40 T5. Sweeeet!
I love This video is so fantastisk to se so many amazons and oder Volvos. They sond so god an locks amazing 😀
Simon Olofsson love the Swedish autocorrect 😉
Let it run to 6500. The it sings.
David I just got a 1959 122S. Because of your build. I do custom upholstery for a living so will be nice in side
Great blog and Great Volvo's! I love my C30 T5
Its a beutiful car.
J'aime les volvo amazon et tes vidéos merci beaucoup David✌️:)
I have to admit it. I'm diggin' those shoes.
LOVE your videos!
I still need a 122 estate in my future
You and me both, pal
I noticed when I replaced my side drafts with a weber that my 2nd cylinder had a drip of antifreeze coming from behind the valve seat. I had a knock when cold that would mostly go away when warm. I eventually bought another amazon with a rebuilt b20b. When I disassembled my motor which was a b20 block with a e head that leaked behind valve i found that the coolant leak had been washing my cylinder, i had almost 1/4th slop side to side. Can't beleive it even ran.
that's not knock it's piston slap, not to uncommon on some redblok's
🇸🇪💪
Cousin Steve's car is so nice 👌 like the r32 a lil more :)
They both serve up their own kind of fun.
That’s my dream set up for an Amazon pretty much! Any idea on all of the specs?
You don't see p1900 every day
Does that engine have metal cam gear? Or the original fiber cam gear? The former can be noisy, the latter is typically quiet. Also, is there any chance the spacer on the end of the cam behind the retaining nut wasn’t installed? If it’s not on there it will cause the retaining plate to get damaged and the nut to come off. And that will definitely make some weird noises. Don’t ask me how I know..
I drive Volvos since 35 years, they all have super engines, but the carb versions sadfully have worst english scrap. NEVER use Stromberg, SU & Co.!
Never heard about Mikuni??
I doubt it is piston slap, no smoke and it was irregular. But something is loose. It could be anything that vibrates. I know, as a suggestion that is a big help. At least if it breaks it wont be anything major. Good luck tracking it down.
I had the unfortunate experience decades ago of rebuilding completely a tired b18 only to hear that scary clackety-clack after less than 100 miles or so from the engine’s innards. After consulting with the unapologetic parts vendor was advised “oh gee. Soft, bad batch of wrist pins” they supplied me. More expense, wasted time and a complete tear down to install an improved batch of pins. Wish to this day I had never taken on that job I did for free for a friend, who never expressed any appreciation for that hard work. What utter crud.
@@paulleverenz3396 The songs of your love for the Volvo will be sung in Valhalla!
What wood steering wheel do you have in your car? Looks nice. Will it fit my 1973 ES?
It's an Empi/Flat4 GTV 15.5 inch wheel that utilizes a Grant 3 bolt adapter with a custom spacer.
Is Steven*s car the same year as Bruce
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeede
First comment; should I buy an s60r with a 6 speed for under 3k? It's got a new engine and turbo, everything else has 105k miles. It's not leaking oil or trans fluid, It does need rear struts tho which are pricey, paint has clear coat failure, and it needs new tires. It also has an IPD tune on it
Yes go for it !
That's a good price but why on earth would it need a new engine at such low mileage? Those blocks are the weak spot in terms of reliability lottery. Some have zero issues and others Crack at the cylinder walls or are neutered for a failed radiator or expansion bottle overheating them. I miss mine but recommend an emergency fund for any major (inevitable) repairs. But when you buy it cheap you can enjoy it that much more under budget 👍
Thanks for replying David, I don't know why it needed a new engine. I do know it now has a lightened fly wheel and a tune; so perhaps the previous owner went too hard on the stock block.
@@jonathantrevino2899 keep mye updated if you get it. I was back in my XC90 for the first time in a while and forgot just how fun the P2 cars can be.
Does the noise go away when you push in the clutch? If so, perhaps it's something to do with the gearbox, like an input shaft bearing. Beautiful car, by the way.
Good idea I'll check! If the clutch pressure plate face is uneven that can rattle
Thinks for the video. I hope this fall y'all plan more events. Might talk Robert diy into showing up. 😁Know anywhere I can pick up a triple webber set up for my 164? Might save me a ls engine swap on my 70 164. I'm keeping the 75 164e original.
There is a video on TH-cam of a 164 with triple webers. It sounds awesome.
It's title is "Volvo 164 Burning Rubber Part 2". With the engine under load at slow speed (going through a tight corner) The webers are particularly growly. The webers have simple foam for air cleaners so they might as well be straight through.
If I could get my hands on a 164 I would set it up with triple webers just to listen to the engine song
It would be great to see Robert again since we no longer live in the same town. That 164 would sound great with those side drafts
David! I have the possibility of becoming the owner of a B20 here in ABQ, i was wondering if there was anything thing you recommend (companies to buy from or hacks, or parts to be aware of) after your time with yours. Anything that comes to mind would be great, thanks
VP Autoparts for the parts, Master’s Touch for the service. If it’s fuel injected you may have some issues with the electrics but be patient with diagnostics and it will be simple enough to sort out. That’s about it in the general sense.
Hey David by any chance do you know anyone parting out a b21 engine?
Unfortunately not. I hardly dip my toes in the 240 market these days
Is that “clackety noice” only coming at certain revs or is it present even if you rev it up?
Only ever at idle, unloaded
@@DavidBello Can you use a stethoscope (or a screwdriver) to try to locate exactly where the noice is coming from?
@@Jonsson474 it really does work, even a broom handle or piece of wood, lol...
piston or timing gear wear...?
4:00
Stop riding the clutch!
Y'all act like 8 seconds on the pedal is gonna break these cars apart 😆
@@DavidBello it's cumulative.
You have to say that in my father’s voice-that’s how I hear it!
timing gears.
It's a new fibre gear. You think so?
@@DavidBello I had one that came apart but car still ran,started wearing the timing cover, sounded like rod knock, only at idle.
poor car, all the time the foot on the clutch.
Just looks that way with my big shoes
At least take your foot off the clutch while driving, the slightest pressure is very bad. Only use it to shift the gear.
This couldn't be anymore hipster unless you mounted a fixie to the back of the amazon...
why? it's just a old classic car.
@@Caz885 Rich white boy from North L.A area driving an Amazon his parents money paid to restore with hipster haircut, hipster glasses and red hipster shoes... It's hipster overload
@@sdmoparmaninsd6713 maybe you missed the part where I built the whole thing myself using money I earned over the last several years. But I'm glad you found us on this step of the journey to see how it all turned out. But I encourage you to check out all the previous haircuts and tattered clothing that brought us here
@@DavidBello sure kiddo we all believe you
