Re: Re: Got some old car ignition parts

these are just some parts in glass jars from some sort of parts storage shelves. Most of the labels are gone. So I need to be able to identify what they are from say stampings on the part itself.

Got some old car ignition parts

Got some old car ignition parts and other miscellanious parts such as brushes for starters/alternators/generators. Rotor caps, points, condensors. Is there any place I can go to cross ref. part numbers or find part numbers on these. Want to lable them with year and sell. I know that these parts and such are from probably the 50's. Father was a mechanic and has passed.

Re: Car uses quart of oil every 1000 miles

I don't know anything about a volvo, so this might sound stupid. But does this car have a PCV? Possitive Crankcase ventilation valve? Now if so take it out and shake it. If it rattles then it is good. But for the cost I would replace it. This does cause oil usage. Hope this helps. I didn't see anyone else suggesting it.
