1983 Volvo 242 B23F, M46, K Cam

1982 Volvo 242 B23F, M46, K Cam, IPD sway bars and panhard bar, koni shocks, lowering springs, new (less 50 miles) catless 2.5 inch exhaust.

• The previous owner replaced the timing belt and tensioner less than 3k ago. He also replaced all the vacuum lines, new plugs, plug wires, new distributor, whole new brake system - rotors, pads, calipers all round, fresh oil change, new shifter bushings, new motor mounts.
• Clutch is tight and trans shifts smoothly through all gears.
• I replaced the alternator and alternator belt 15 miles ago.
• Replaced front headlights to make this car safe to drive at night: 2 new Cibie headlamp units and 2 Osram 70/65w bolbs, and new relay and wiring harness (from Daniel Stern Ligthing)
• Brand new catless 2.5 inch pipe and exhaust.
• Two sets of wheels included 15x7 OZ MSW mesh wheels with new Falken's and a set of Team Dynamics 17x8 track wheels with worn/hard-assYokohama's
• I replaced the heater blower engine (oh the joy of that job!)
• Currently has a Corbeau race bucket in the driver seat. I have a factory seat that I will include.

• The wiring engine harness was cleaned up. However, the "bio-degradable" ICU wiring harness is shit (which I guess is also bio-degradable). Changing this harness was next in my set of things to do.
• The engine is running rough when at very light throttle. It is not a vacuum leak. I would start by replacing the ICU wiring harness (see line above) before doing any more troubleshooting.
• Odometer does not work, true mileage unknown.
• Grille has several broken mount tabs and is held in with zip ties.
