Overall:

It Is Old But Fun — I just got it the car had set for about 11 years . Having set that long the gas tank sending unit had to be replaced . I drive it every day. the car runs ruff and dose not idle well I am looking for A fuel distributor but having A hard time finding one for A 1979 242 Volvo . The car only has 79000 miles the body has on holes and looks pretty good I think it will be A lot of fun once I get parts
