I'm going to the pick and pull this week and am needing a pickup coil
for my '82 244 that I'm getting back on the road. Most of the Volvos
that have the Chrysler ignition have had their pickup coils removed.

Can someone tell me what othe cars may have used this same pickup coil?
Dodge, etc...?

You might consider grabbing the Bosch ignition system off a similar
vintage 240, from what I gather it works noticeably better.
 
I've thought about changing over to a Bosch unit.

Exactly what parts are needed?

Is it simply a matter of removing the distributor and changing it out
with the Bosch unit or does the ECU have to be changed over also?

IIRC you need the distributor, wiring harness and the ignition box. A
friend of mine has done the conversion before, I can double check with
him what is needed if you want.
 
James,
That would be great. I've been looking at the wiring greenbook for my
car and it seems fairly straightforward. I've rebuild the wiring
harness under the hood, so I'm not afraid of rewiring things. Which
years should I look for at the pick and pull?

Ok I checked, he says you need the ignition control box under the hood
from any Bosch ignitioned K-Jet (mechanical injection) 240, ignition
harnesses from an '81 240 with Bosch ignition and non-turbo engine, and
the distributor.
