That guy seems to have bought up a whole load of old volvo parts he also has some original volvo tools as well, he lists part numbers but not what they do, might be of some use to someone

He's been putting parts from this stash up for a long time. Overblown descriptions and decidedly high prices mean that he's not selling much, probably.....

However, if the weights were reversed, this distributor would definitely work in an Amazon

Derek - which distributor are you saying that requires that semi-circular thingamer? I have a B18A distributor here at the moment with the insulated bolt that goes through the distributor body, but the B20A cap that I have fits (IE the type with the recess for the tab). There is no semi-circle in the cap and the condenser doesn't get in the way

Actually - I think the semi-circular thingamer cap is for some B18B distributors

Dunno. They're quite different to the Bosch ones. That's with reference to the shape of the weights and the way they attach to the shaft
The other thing that concerns me is that the distributor body is cast aluminium instead of cast iron - is this going to cause a problem, I wonder? In fact, there's a Bosch parts specialist that has just opened in Exeter. I went down there and bored the poor guy to death with a list of Volvo part numbers and it seems he can get a lot of the individual parts for the stanadard Amazon distributors that I reckon I can easily rebuild the small collection of distributors I have The only thing I can't get are new weights and springs
