Did you change the rotor?
What model & year is this Volvo 4.3? Not all 4.3's are the same.

More info will be a plus.Year would be nice.

Did the motor run before you did this.Did it have a problem?.Why did you do this work?

If you did replace the rotor check it with an ohm meter.I've had 2 that the center of the rotor was not electricaly connected to the arm contact.But that's rare.
