Ignition system Volvo 140 (B18A) (240214)

A slow cold start, rough idle and hesitation when you hit the gas often begin in the distributor – a worn distributor rotor, a sticking vacuum advance or cracked ignition cables weaken the spark on a B18A. The single-carburetor 1.8-litre engine in the early 140 cars is sensitive to incorrect ignition timing, so the distributor is an obvious checkpoint at every service.

This category brings together parts for the distributor and ignition side of the 140 with B18A: distributor, distributor rotor, ignition coil and ignition cable set, plus seals, hose for the vacuum port, assembly grease and decals. During a rebuild it is common to replace the distributor rotor and cables in one go while checking that the vacuum advance holds vacuum – a simple way to restore a steady idle and correct ignition advance on a 12-volt car from this era.
