God, that guy was lucky. He got it for free. only 60K miles.
Also interesting his project with 2 New Garrett T04 turbines.
Maybe someone here can give him some comments on that

bless the dumbass mechanics, i just did a 940 volvo that the dealer said needed a motor, i fixed it in 15 minutes it'd had been bouncing around town for over a year and hit the dealer last, cam belt wasn't properly installed the distributor drive gear was a couple teeth off and the rotor wasn't lining up with the terninals in the cap, idle was fine but missed badly at a rev

it was running only on 6 cylinders. Here the pic of the dizzy cap with the missing center pin.
That was another frustrated owner.

those bremi caps suck ass, the orignal bosch cap is better and doesn't cost much more
