740 Electronic Ignition Tekie Q

[Ian Pellew]

Hi;

I have a broken 1986 740 GLT that has sat on my (Leic UK) drive for
far too long. (been enjoying my beloved 960)

Can anyone point me to where I can get/buy/scrounge the Hall effect
transducer from for the ignition distibutor. I did buy one from Volvo,
but ooh the price!! I broke it when trying to mount it in the
distributor.

Regards
Ian

Ian,

I had the same problem breaking the new Hall sensor when it went bad in my
'85, so I finally bought a new Bosch distributor. Here in the US the Bosch
list price was USD293. To my eternal disappointment my daughter recked the
car almost immediately after installing the new distributor. I have it for
sale, but make me an offer and I would be glad to see it make it to your
car.
