  • Nice, that’s awesome! I’d like to be able to do that stuff myself, but getting past the initial learning curve seems really steep

    But yeah, the turbo bricks forum will probably be your best bet, there is also swede speed, but they focus more on FWD volvos. As usual, the site based search function is garbage, so just use google

    The volvo applications could definitely give you some good inspiration! We’re pretty creative, especially when it comes to improving the (arguably okay-ish) ignition systems, especially on the older cars. Something that would be a little closer to your engine would be the B18 engine in the Volvo Amazon, P1800 and 140 cars, since they are also OHV

    The GM coils are pretty small, so you may be able to mount them somewhere else. Looking at pictures of the engine on Google, it looks like there is some space midway down the block near the bell housing that would have enough space to mount them 3x3.

    I know you wanted to be able to use off the shelf parts, but making your own spark plug leads is pretty easy, and cheap, which makes mounting them remotely a lot easier

    Good luck!
