Nobody knows?

Oh well, I will find out the $hard$ way and let y'all know if you can swap out the pump body. Mine works even though it looks a bit uglier than before.

Hello,

Almost done with my C303 rebuild. I accidentally left my oil pump in Purple degreaser overnight. It corroded the aluminum/magnesium body and produced some sandy corrosive residue. Pissed me off of course. Anyways...

Does the BODY of any B20 pump bolt into the B30 case? I see major ...

That's terrible! I need to read more here. I know who he bought his truck from, because we were this * close to trading our boat for it. I don't wish this upon anybody, but I'm kinda glad it wasn't us.


Yes, you should be glad it wasn't you. I spent 2 days getting the motor out of the chassis ...

If you can do basic engine maintenance, the 123 isn't going to be too tough but if you can't set timing properly, pay someone to do it or pay Jim by the hour for a phone consultation. ;)

Ok, after reading the instructions, the only thing I am concerned with is the requirement for a 6V/12V lead ...

:D

The C303 TGBII arrived from California last week. I drove it around this weekend and now I have a few questions.

1: After a search here and on the web, it appears that the best fuel to use is 93 Octane with a lead additive. However, I see a "re-body" discussion in a few places. There is talk ...

I am arranging for theTGBII to be picked up this Saturday. I have sent out the dimensions which are pretty much everywhere:
Length: ~170"-175" ish
Width: ~76"
Height: 84"-90"
Weight: ~5200lbs

The carrier is concerned that these dimensions are not correct because the pictures on the web make the ...

If you aren't settled on a C303, perhaps an earlier Volvo would work for you. There is one on ebay now:

That thing is BAD-A ...

I've decided to ship it.. Makes me a bit sad, because I rarely see opportunities for adventure these days, but I can't risk my son's life racing this thing home @ high rpms. Besides, what can be seen on a highway is not what I call high adventure. It's like 10,000 McDonalds, Super8 motels and Dairy ...

He lives 200 miles north of the hangar where the TGB lives. He travels on business often. This is not the ONLY window, but it's my best shot for this month.

OK.. next question... can anybody recommend a shipper? I have a ONE-day window for pickup

Vince killed it for me.. I think I will ship. I was going to change the oil in the parking lot somewhere along the way. I can't carry all that. 58 is pretty slow for modern highway. If I could take 7 days off to get it home, I would - but now your talking $700 in hotels unless you can cope with ...

Group,

This is my first post. I JUST bought a TGBII. Another member had his eye on it too. Sorry 'bout that.

It's a '75 with 50K miles. No rust(that I can see), relocated fuel filler(Jeep). 24Volt work light, Backup camera. A couple of extras. The problem is that I am in Orlando the Volvo: San ...

*Update*

The truck in San Diego was bought by somebody else.

:(

The search continues........

SixBennetts... Sorry ... I bought it. :|
I've been hunting one of these for a while too. I'll post back here and let you know if you missed out or not. I sent the seller a video camera in early ...
