I miss my old 144 sedan , and 145 and 245 wagons... ;)
Nice choice of music. Awsome trees and my favourite car in its finest model year.
Anyone in the Portland area? There's a Volvo repair guy VO only Volvo's only. 😊😊😊 Southeast river street. Fixed me up and got me going and it's great a lot of parts and cars for Sale. Anybody is in that area or can give them a call look Em up on the internet..
I’m always inspired by your determination to keep these old Volvos going. I sold my 240 this year because I got so sick of working on it. Your videos scratch my Volvo itch so thanks.
I need more info on that 3rd brake light on the Amazon at22:00! There better be some info in the next video
Great video David. I've been following your videos for some years now and I'm loving every minute of them. I noticed you had a coil issue. I have a Volvo 240 GL 1982 B21 Zenith Stromberg carb and I noticed the coil gets kind of warm/hot, is this an issue with Volvos? I have a Mercedes w123 and the coil never heats up no matter how long I've driven it even in hot weather. I live in Narobi Kenya....
Have an old Valiant I had in the Seattle metro area, but brought to NC when I sold off & left . In order to run in high heat with today's fuel formulations, I had to insulate the fuel line in the engine bay, have the fuel pump rebuilt with a diaphragm that resists heat & alcohol (more important because I run an oil cooler from an '80 Aspen cop car, the return sprays the oil on the pump arm, it has a more narrow body at the top), phenolic plastic gasket insulator, aluminum intake with a Thermoquad carb - it does work, had Clifton at Raleigh Carb build it, dual snorkel air cleaner that pulls air from the fender wells, use a Nippondenso starter in place of the "Highland Hummingbird," carry a spare HEI box & ballast resistor, and have an alternator, brackets, wiring & regulator from an '89 Gran Fury cop car. Important, too...I can get non-ethanol 87 or 93, and the 93 at the Citgo was $3.95 a gallon last night when I filled my Audi A8L. Don't miss the PNW for the craziness & expense, unfortunately, it is nowhere near what it once was.
If I had to leave the west coast, I’d go to North Carolina too. It’s beautiful and the ethanol-free is a dream. Thanks for sharing that info!
David~thank you. so useful . goodnight,🙂
Sorry you had that charging issue, David. Yes. as you probably know, the AMP light is a critical link in the charge circuit.
❤❤❤
Ha! David rolled through SLO .... SLO rolling!
Portland always puts me in a mood too, David. S'why I moved to the suburbs. Nice of that fella at Burgerville to come let you know you were welcome to use the parking lot.
Awesome! I miss my ‘72 Volvo!
Welcome back
Nice road trip. The Bosch electronic injection I think was a pain when there were technicians who were supposed to be trained on it. Got to be a real treat now. The FI on my 74 164 never left me stranded, but it never really ran right either. Seemed to like to vapor lock on warmer days although it would start - just ran rough. I never knew enough about it to properly diagnose and of course neither didn’t the Volvo dealership. Good luck and enjoy the trip anyway. How does that straight 6, non cross flow run as the altitude increases?
I didn’t have much altitude increase, mostly latitude. But it seemed to be pretty consistent aside from the temp sensor failure
I climbed a mountain with the car yesterday, up to 5,200 feet from sea level, and the DJet was perfect all the way. The car got a little warm, as the air was thinner and the radiator fan had to work harder, but no issues with DJet
Nice .. show in blue lake park.. nice talking to you David...
Nice car David!Very cool trip!So awesome what do for the Volvo community!Thanks for sharing and Aloha!
Old cars can be a bastard sometimes but when they go they are delightful. I hope the 164E doesn't give you any more trouble.
That forest reminded me of twin peaks the return. 😊 nice volvo
I admire your determination, especially in the face of adversity. The reward is that you're back on the road.
Excellent video.. I can relate to that feeling of what's gonna go wrong? I also have the habit of carrying round a whole array of spares (just in case).. These are the joys of driving old cars. Well done for the road trip. Car looks lovely. Enjoy the show!
Exactly! Spares are a necessity for any trip
Being from Gothenburg I always had a sweet spot for Volvos, and in the early 2000's I worked for them in R&D. Brought me to LA once actually, but that's not why I wanted to post this comment. Years later I started working for Saab, and you, my dear Sir, are the spitting image of my manager there 😂
You, of course, are way younger than him. He was one of the drivers in the eighties Talladega races with the Saab 9000's
I hope all the red block owners see this video and realize how important that small red wire that goes to the alternator really is
And the constant culprit: broken ground wire
@@DavidBello those grounds are pesky!
The alternator relay, the big old one with metal housing, was a constant pain when I had my Amazon with a B20. But nothing a wrench could whack into place when it was acting up :D
Awesome ! DB U rock!
Thanks Michael!
2:30 I think i saw where Princess Lea was hiding from the stormtroopers and 2:36 whene one of them splashed his speeder 😁
EXACTLY!
Hi David. Could you please share the paint code?
@@elborikua951 109 Ocean Green
That is the prettiest Volvo love these
Why does every youtuber have to overlay music? Can't we just listen to that glorious 3 litre six?
Mostly wind noise though
The best looking of Bello ever
Omg I've been there with those pesky dash lights! So frustrating trying to change them.
Literally the closest I’ve ever been to a mental break down
Hi David! Thank you for your great film. I feel sorry for you about the car but you fix it at least very good. Hope you doing well and the car of course. Take care in the heat. 👌👋👋
Awesome video,when you see how old,tall some of those trees are, of course when when you have unexpected car trouble that makes the trip a bit sour.
👍👍👍
Is that Ivy?
Ivy is repainted, but this is another 164 :) I bought it at the 2022 VCOA National Meet
Just remember Jesus is not only an awesome co-pilot, He's also an awesome mechanic too. He always helps me when I'm wrenching. Ya just have to ask.😇
He got a mention when David switched on everything and tested for charge. Glad that resurrection was achieved.
@@delukxy Ya I know, that's why I brought it up.
