hello, long time since i was on. i've got an '82 bayliner capri with the infamous ohc volvo 4 cylinder "B-18" engine. i thought the mechanically inclined out there would get a kick out of the mods i've performed:<br />#1 remove solex carb & place in trash<br />#2 fashion aluminum plate so that alum holley 4bbl to 2 bbl will bolt on<br />#3 install holley 300cfm 2 bbl (route pcv to engine breather port on block) <br />#4 remove and throw out mechanical fuel pump, then plum in sealed electric fuel pump with filter<br />#5 fashion aluminum block off plate for fuel pump boss<br />#6 remove point distributor and install a magnetic pick-up distribor out of a B-21 volvo engine (it will need to be modified to delete vacuum advance)<br />#7 use the original ignition "on" wire from the coil to activate a relay<br />#8 use the relay to fire and MSD box and the fuel pump <br />conclusion: this didn't make me faster, but gave me a far more enjoyable powerplant. easier to start, more reliable. hope you find it interesting.<br /><br /> Rice
