Ignition system Volvo 140 (B18B/D) (241298)

Hard starting, rough idle and incorrect ignition timing often come down to a worn distributor. On the B18B – the twin-carburetor 1.8-liter OHV four in early 140s – the breaker points and rotor arm are typical wear points that affect spark quality and firing order.

This group includes the distributor, rotor arm and contact breaker together with the ignition coil, ignition cable set plus seals, grease and a decal for the overhaul. When rebuilding the ignition it is common to replace the breaker points at the same time, check the distributor cap and make sure the grease on the shaft has not dried out. The parts are gathered around distributor code 241298 and its B18B fit, so the carbureted engine's ignition system stays in proper condition without guesswork about spark and timing.
