Fuel filter insert and o ring

Hello,

It is time for me to change the fuel filter insert in my glass bowl strainer/filter. Other than from Sweden, does anyone have an idea where to get an insert and o ring seal? The service manual calls for a Carter F 827 S filter, which is hard to cross reference.

Thanks!

Re: Ignition issues

Are the part numbers Volvo specific? What's the difference between the B30 and the B30a engines?

After replacing it with a new cap, bought from Autozone for $8.99 (1975 Volvo 164 engine cap), I started my truck and shut it down right away, looking back into my new distributor cap, only to realize that the contact responsible for cyli...

overdrive gear and electrical fan

Ok,
Here are two different questions relating to a plug and play overdrive gear addition for my 303,as well as a plug and play electric fan install. Any suggestions?
I heard that disconnecting the mechanical fan and adding an electrical fan will give me a few more horse power.
Thanks for any input!

Re: Volvo work day

Greg,
Could you give me more details on the LED headlights you used on your Volvo? I searched the truck-lite website and want to make sure I am getting the ones that fit.
Thank you.

Re: Slipping out of low gear range

I went to a local Volvo dealership here in Denver and the shop foreman is comfortable working on my toy. The gear issue was caused by the parking break cable blocking the linkage to the auxilliary gear box...a 5 minute fix for free.

Re: Slipping out of low gear range

Slipping out of low gear range

Hello All, My c303 worked just fine until I am all of a sudden have a hard time engaging low gear range, meaning it stays in neutral, unengaged until I go back to high range gearing. Sometimes, I'll get it to engage in low gear range and it slips out the moment I am accelerating in first gear. Any i...

Tactical light switch wiring

Hello,

I have a 1975 c303 and am installing a new tactical light switch (3 position switch that turns off all lights, incl. brake lights).
The switch I have is a Kraus & Naimer c10-4 and I was wondering if anyone has a diagram of which wire number goes in what port?

Thanks.

Marcus
