To set the timing on a Volvo 240, first, ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn off the engine. Locate the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley and the timing pointer on the engine block. Start the engine and use a timing light to check the timing; adjust the distributor as necessary to align the timing mark with the specified degree (usually 12-16 degrees BTDC for the B230F engine). Finally, tighten the distributor hold-down bolt and recheck the timing to ensure it remains accurate.
Yes, some starters from other Volvo models may fit a 1983 Volvo 240, particularly those from the same era, such as the Volvo 740 and 760. However, it's essential to check compatibility based on the engine and electrical specifications, as variations can exist. Always consult a parts catalog or a professional mechanic to ensure the starter matches your specific model.

The starter inhibitor switch on a 1983 Volvo 240 is typically located on the transmission, near the gear selector. It is designed to prevent the engine from starting unless the transmission is in the "Park" or "Neutral" position. You may need to access it from underneath the vehicle for better visibility and reach.
For the 1987 Volvo 240 DL, when aligning the timing gear marks, ensure the crankshaft is at TDC (top dead center) on the compression stroke. The timing mark on the crankshaft pulley should align with the mark on the timing cover. The camshaft gear should have its mark aligned with the mark on the cylinder head. Double-check that the distributor rotor is pointing towards the correct cylinder for proper ignition timing.
