Ignition system Volvo PV/Duett (B18A) (240214)

Rough idle, sluggish cold starts and erratic revving are classic signs of a worn distributor in the B18A. Over time the shaft bearings develop play, the vacuum advance loses effect and the contact surfaces get sluggish – and since the B18 in the 544 and 210/445 runs 12 volts, you want the right components for the steady spark the engine was built for.

This group includes the distributor plus related parts for overhaul and upgrade: ignition coil, ignition cable sets, gaskets and seals around the distributor base, grease for lubrication, plus key blanks and decals. For those who want to ditch the breaker points, there is everything needed for a breakerless ignition system on the B18.

When rebuilding, a typical check point is play in the distributor shaft and the function of the vacuum advance – if they are worn, you notice it right away in the timing and idle. Make sure the gasket against the block is tight so oil does not creep up.
