Volvo 164E TE 1974 pic. form Denmark.
Ahh
Finally - I got taken some photos of my beautiful 164 TE. Conversion from BW 35 to AW 70/71 is over and works surperb. Photos can be seen here; http://s1265.photobucket.com/user/10...?sort=3&page=1 Driving very nice. But Ill need to change bushings in rear axle, but then there is also something to do in the winter. Good evening - |
Lovely car, one of the best colours.

Hello
Thanks. Yes the color is amazing! It is not blue, nor green - but a mix. Incredible very nice and "live" in the sunshine. Good evening - |
It seems to have been one of the more popular colours, came in for '73 model year I think.Id like to do the gearbox conversion to my car- alas funds don't permit it! on steep hills it is never in the right gear.

Hello
There are VERY big difference from the org. BW 35 and the "new" AW 70/71 - nice to drive around. 80 km. / Hr and only approx. 2,000 RPM and not like before by more than 3,300 RPM. Do it! It takes time to find all the parts and it costs the unfortunately too. Good evening - |
What was wrong with the BW35?
Was the gearbox swap a matter of plug & play or did stuff need to be modified? |
Hello,
Lovely car, interesting grille badges. Lovely interior, like the 'EL. ANT DOWN' button, have one in my S70, but not as classy as the 164 - just a small image of an aerial. Cheers |
Hello
BW 35 "box" was tired - has hardly been running for about 25 years and they can not liked. So there came a "new" box on - an AW 70/71, and it works super, much better fuel consumption and much lower revs. You will need this parts; A AW 70/71 with outer speedometer outlet. They sat on the first 240, buy the "whole" gear box with all accessories, cable wires, switches, etc. A conversion "flange" between the engine block and gearbox. Can be bought here in DK, cast in aluminium. New oil cooler hoses. Get them done at a truck repair shop - very cheap. A new and shorter drive shaft (from the first 240) - it must be balanced. Maybe the middle rubber ball bearing has to be moved to fit the new drive shaft, since '74 is a bit of a mutant, since it is a model between a 164 and a 240, so there may be several different solutions. Since a 164 with BW 35 run with a different rear axle than a 240, it will be a little slower at the start - but it's not a race car we have LOL. Gog day - ' |
Hello
Yes it is cute. When I first read the instruction manual, that the antenna could be adjusted manually with the button in height for optimum sound - I thought it did not fit, but must now admit that it fits. Br. Timo Good day - Quote:
