If your engine is sound, you'll probably find tune-ups due every year or so. This assumes that the fuel system is in peak operating condition (rare, but we've seen a few). We tune our B18/20s each Autumn and again in the Spring to keep the ignition system happy.
Most vintage Volvos are not wearing their original distributor!
The information in the 'Additional Information' tab is the best and most accurate way for us to get you the correct tune-up parts the first time. The Bosch number listed is only the last three digits of the full ten digit number. For those distributors without the ten digit number, there is an alternate number listed.

Unless you bought your classic Volvo brand new and know its full history, there's a good chance the distributor has been changed or modified. Our tune-up kits are matched to the distributor number, eliminating possible mis-orders for cars that are not wearing their original distributors.
To help us identify the proper tune up parts for your specific car, please check your Bosch distributor part number. On early distributors this number will be found on an oval tag riveted to the distributor body. On later distributors the number is simply stamped on the body (see picture).
This kit fits these distributor numbers:
Cast Iron housing: 001, 002, 003, 009, JFR4, VJ4BL34
