My first Volvo was a 145DL with the B20A (single carb for those aren't familiar with the OHV version) engine John - GOT455K if memory serves correctly but may have been GOT445K - always wanted the 135bhp B20E, D-Jetronic fueled injection engine though!

There was also a low compression (8.7:1 i think it was) B20F with about 118bhp and a lot less torque than the 10:1 (i think) of the B20E and either would have transformed the meagre B20A (82bhp if memory serves) into a fire-breathing monster by comparison!
