    The ignition wire for #1 cylinder are made at a 90 deg. in case the B18/B20 has AC installed. The compressor is typically mounted on the front of the engine next to #1 cylinder. This way the wire can clear the compressor housing and be removable/serviceable. Lower end ignition wire sets (Rockauto) will omit the single wire with the right-angled connector.

    One of my lecturers at Uni had a lovely one of these in the early eighties and she used it purely for moving hay for her horses, I had a 145 at the time and tried to get her to swap it with me, but sadly she thought it looked cute! Carrying hay bales does not help a wagon have a happy life!

    It’s definitely rough, but the wheel well cracking is normal stuff. Mine has it bad on both sides. Before mountain meet mine started squeaking really bad, and instead of…fixing it? I just hosed the crack down with wd40. Worked a treat.

    Did I hear you say that you have ford ranger wheels on the 120 Volvo? I have a 1968 120 wagon wagon and would like to what year of ranger wheels would fit my wagon. On parts.... I'm looking for a good condition passenger side stainless mirror with the blue tint on the glass.
