1971 Volvo 164

I got her out of the shop on Friday and she purrs like a kitten.  I spent Friday evening cleaning her out and drove to a show later in the evening.  Saturday afternoon she got a new set of tires on the stock steel wheels (195 65/15).  It drove a little rough all weekend until I tweaked the timing a bit more, put the air filter back on, and adjusted the carbs.  It still idles around 1000 (which is a bit high) but it has a lot more power now nd drives so much smoother.  I think when I first got it from the shop the throttle RPMs were too low and it rattled a lot.  Plus I’d forgotten to put lead substitute in when I filled it up, and this stopped the pinging immediately.  My Sunday project was putting a new tapedeck in, dremelling a DIN sized hole in the dash, and just doing some driving while it’s nice out.  It sure is nice to work on other stuff aside from the engine and not to worry about it overheating!
