My son maintains that this car used 'leaded' gas, and "I" think I remember

I was late to add enough antifreeze to washer fluid so it got frozen
this winter. In fact added some but didn't work well (because it was

My brother has an '87 760 Turbo with a sagging rear end. As I recall, this
car has the Nivomat self leveling suspension with the obscenely priced
shocks. Is there anything involved in converting to standard 740 style
shocks other than replacing the springs?

I had a LOT of good info stored on my recently-crashed computer. I
need to find the archives to recover some of that knowledge.
Where do I find the archives? I think they're in Google somewhere but

assembly replaced and the belts but noise still there. Any ...

I had the car in with the dealer (Manhattan Volvo) due to a check
engine light and an inability to find a shop to trust in Bayonne, NJ.
I was an aircraft mechanic, so I can work on stuff but really don't
