It's a good day in ovlov land

I've wanted these lights since the start!

Got my kjet testing rig made up!

I think it should be 50-55 psi tops and the hoses are rated for twice that so all should be well. The smaller banjos are as tight as I can get em, not moving at least !

Studying up on the process for testing and praying it yields some sort of answer. I'd really like to avoid rebuilding the whole fuel system, might get away with a good cleaning!

I think I paid $19 before tax for the harbor freight kit, about $20 for the bloody banjo bolts/ fittings ( I did buy a spare large one).
$20 for the hoses and clamps.

So about $60 all in, cheapest on ebay was $110 but did have the valve on it , mines still in the post!

Also got this new brake junction octopus from a member here, mines weeping !

Thanks man, I knew that I wanted them on a volvo someday!.

Yeah I just can't get a solid bit of time with it lately, need to hit it over the Christmas break, I've a few days then.

Have my kjet testing setup sorted now with a valve too. Have a few guys pm'ming offering their experience. I probably have some plugged up fuel lines/ screens in the wuhr too I'm guessing.

The vacuum lines could all do with replacing too so might tackle it all at same time.

Oh and I know the pcv is utterly clogged too so I guess I'll just take off the intake again and do it all properly.

Meanwhile, more goodies!

It's the only way I can justify working 4 different jobs at the minute :)

Rewired in a new window washer pump today, the wires going to it had to be chased back a foot to beat the biodegradation!

Then figured out none of the rear lights were working, hardwiring ensued!

Lol very good ☺️

And we have taillights!

Will have to figure out where the reverse lights are once she's running but it's enough to pass inspection now.

Also bought a bunch of kjet bits off a running n/a should give me some useful bits to transfer over while I rebuild what's on the car.

So yeah this happened

Kjet bits off a running car, a lot of which may be useful while I rebuild/ cleanup what's on there, so nice to get a job lot vs buying it all separately even if it's not from a turbo, all the little bolts and fittings I'll need !

Yoshifab lower braces and strut top reinforcement too!

That?s awesome. Really cool.

Cheers man, I appreciate the encouragement!

More fuel stuff today:

Testing the heating coil, looks alright? Under 30 is good right?

Couldn't open the darn thing to save my life, a bit of overnight soakage in order.

Took out the injectors and gave them a quick blast through, they're spraying okay now, may have to replace them. I'll throw a can of brake clean at them proper tomorrow.

Just ordered the lower o ring for the injector holders, had already got the upper ones, managed to get them all out without breaking them.

Took out the old warm up regulator, it's a 128, no vacuum lines going into it and two metallic strips vs one.

The one I bought was a 078, very different inside, just checking the diaphragms were good, both are !

The screen had some mud in it too, now cleaned out !

Flame trap cleaning, ended up just using the little screen in the kit I bought. The angle on the vacuum pipe is different on the turbo I guess?

Plugged it up, filled it with a half can of degreaser and washed it out later with hot water.

Big flakes of hardened oil we're falling out of it!

Found an intake gasket at the local autozone which was pretty amazing for a 37 yr old car!

I threw the injectors in, but I think I can wait to get the outer sealing I rings before putting everything back together.

I've to replace all the vacuum lines anyways and out of time this week.

Whipped off the kjet equivalent of a maf?

Gave it a good cleaning with brakcleen.

I'll redo it with fresh gaskets etc but fuel seems to be flowing through at least.

Just want it running, I'll eventually redo the fuel lines too, they're intact but the outer rubber shielding is succumbing to age.

Finally got my injector holder seals, can't be having any unmetered air getting at it !
