I was contacted by a fellow Volvo enthusiast a few months ago to see if I would be interested in doing some things to help him do a conversion from turbo Kjet/Bosch ignition to Electromotive tec3 on his B23FT.
I agreed to do the work.
After some delays, the work started. After some more delays and frustrations*, the work was finally finished; and the items shipped to the customer.
I decided to assemble this gallery to:
...show the customer what I did, how I did it, and why I did it that way;
...to justify and explain the expense [we'll see if that works out...]
...and to have it used by him as a guide for when he installs the items that I sent him.
Now that I have it done**, I figured that this stuff might be of interest to others contemplating such a conversion, or similar modifications to their Volvo.
Jonathan: I hope you like what I did: what I sent you.....not necessarily this gallery.
* a normal state of affairs with custom work
**'done' is a relative term. When the system is up and running, then I will be 'done'.
