Ignition system Volvo Amazon (B18A) (240214)

Rough idle, poor cold starting and ignition misfires often stem from a worn distributor – a shaft bearing with play, a burnt distributor cap or a tired ignition coil disrupts the timing of the spark. This category gathers the ignition system parts for the Volvo 122 with the single-carburetor B18A rated at 75 hp, which arrived together with the 12-volt system in August 1961.

The group includes distributors and rotor arms, ignition coils and ignition cable sets, plus smaller accessories such as seals, grease and key blanks. During a rebuild, the rotor arm's contact surface and play in the shaft are typical check points – play that shifts the ignition timing shows up immediately as an unsteady idle. Be sure to add a new seal and grease during installation, along with decals for a correct finish. Since the B18 runs on 12 volts, the ignition coil and wiring should be matched to that system.
