Hi to everyone,
Recently I purchased a 1978 264GL and intend to restore it, can anyone
tell me what is the recommended fuel, leaded or unleaded .
When it comes to Volvo cars I am a novice.

Thank you
Les Jones

Go right to the bottom of the page and see the blue link titled "unleaded
issue". The link takes you to a chart of all the engines in different models
and their suitability for unleaded. You will need to make sure that the
specifications for a given engine are the same worldwide.

I don't know about Australia, but in Sweden the 264 model had the
so-called "PRV" engine. A V6 of either 2.7 or 2.8 litre. The design is a
bit old fashioned with pushrods for the valves.

Those engines are not considered "standard Volvo class" (=lasting
"forever"), as I understand. PRV was a joint venture involving Volvo and
the French companies Renault and Peugeot. So basically the same engine
was mounted in larger cars of those makes.
