The front stud and rubber mount of my ('81 245) K-Jet fuel distributor
has sheared completely. Is there some way to easily replace it?
Looking through a wrecking yard, it seems to be a common problem even
though their percentage of Volvos with K-Jet is about 3%.

Do 700 seats fit a 240 by chance?

Why not just buy a new one? They're not that much money, any you find
in a wrecking yard will probably break when you try to remove them.

Hi Mike,
Do you mean buy a whole new fuel distributor or just a new new mount?
Surely a AMM/Fuel Distributor must be costly. I have not figured out
how the mount attaches to the distributor yet. I didn't want to mess
with mine because I don't want to strand myself by making the
situation worse until I had replacement parts in hand. Thanks again
for your help on other topics.

If you know what your engine mounts look like, then that's what the fuel
distributor (actually air flow sensor) mounts look like, although
obviously they're a little smaller. Undo the nut you do see, then turn
the whole mount to get it out of the air flow sensor. And yes, it's a
lot easier said than done.
