Just picked up a bargain off ebay, basically the whole injection system and distributor off a Volvo 260 for spares (only£25), and not sure which engine its off-fuel distributor is Bosch 0438 100 035, distributor is part number 0237 402 013- on the metering manifold it has a vacuum intake and a blanked off plug, reading through the various data supplied its fitted to both 2.7 & 2.8 engines.
Any ideas? 8)
Good buy (shame I missed it) should bolt streight on, be worth getting the metering head re-cond though. The air intake part will be about 1cm wider (internal size) than a DeLorean and is a much better part to let air in the engine.

three words Brian................... You Jammy Sod !! lol
Good find there mate 8)
Its amazing what you can find on the bay if using the right search criteria Claire-got a brand new(old stock)Volvo waterpump-the bolt on pulley type-for £7.80, p&p was a bit expensive at £3.50!
I'm reconditioning the fuel distributor and possibly using the new throttle assembly as well-it even has the original plastic caps over the adjusting screws and the mixture adjustment is still sealed, hopefully its not faulty and was slung in favour of a replacement........... 8)
Fit the ignition distributor, set advance to 11 degrees. Fit fuel metering head and intake "flap". Re-plumb DeLorean CPR to always "see" engine vacuum and set CO to 2%. You MUST remove your cat converter to use this metering head.
Thanks,I'll do that on re-assembly shortly-my car was de-catted years back, I've just dismantled the unit and apart from being covered in surface oxidisation the internals were remarkably clean-only the metering unit drop valve thingy was stuck, possibly due to petrol residue. Left it soaking in petrol overnight so hopefully it'll free off. 8)
There's a very good chance you won't be able to put it back together without it leaking, they're famous for that.
I free off stuck plungers by putting it in the oven (after removing the ppr o rings). 10 mins at 150 does the trick
Wifes not going to be happy with the metering unit cooking with the roasties...........but I may give it a try with the 'scientific' explanation! Let you know how I get on! 8) :lol:
It worked though didn't it Mart.
Polly will never know :wink:
Cooking metering units to make the valve drop out really works! Nice tip! 8) :lol:
