so what ignition box should i get then? are the nubers 001 on the distributor or the box? not sure which you mean here... would the ezk box not just plug n play if im running 2.2?

also, wiring in my oil press/ boost guage... do i just tap into the green oil press signal wire going to the back of my cluster? or do i have to install my own sender? and do i tap the blue one for boost, obviously i run power and ground to both, and the brown wires for the backlights... and the vac line for boost.

anybody got any good tricks for removing exh mani studs? i don't really want to use the old rusted crap, and one is broken... anybody have some nib ones lying around? so i dont have to special order em... waiting for one of you volvo shop guys to chime in. 8)

funny, for all the doc on +ting a car, nobody really talks about these things for us noobs #-o

I've got a tool that just fits over the studs and I can ratchet them out, its nice and has a low profile. They are size specific though, I can't rememer do the 240s have a 6 or 8mm stud?

they are 8, i would really like to avoid having to chop and drill/tap them... thats what i had to do to one of the studs on the turbo, at least i could put that in a vice... not so much with an engine. does tightening two nuts together and ratcheting them out work fine? i havent tried this yet.

thanks all

still confused on this ezk crap, anybody care to sort me out here?

snapped 2 manifold studs removing them, my drill is too long to drill with the engine in place... so im going to pull the head, and replace the HG, water pump etc... just so i can drill and tap two bolts :x oh well. say la vie, anything else i should be doing while im in there?
