RE: [DML] Re: Upgrading the Air Filter

["DMC Joe" <dmcjoe@xxxxxxx>]

Dick, 

I think the confusion here concerns model year. The Volvo B-28F air filter
box that I was speaking of would be Volvo 260 GLE 1979-1982. I know this for
a fact because I owned a 1980 Volvo 260. For further proof see Engine Bay
Layout photo in the Haynes Volvo 260 Auto Repair Manual. Additionally check
the pictures in the DeLorean Technical Information manual. Pages 183-187 are
actually taken from a Volvo workshop manual. The picture on the bottom of
page 184 clearly shows the air cleaner box. Further proof that this is a
Volvo illustration is the picture on page 186 2nd from the bottom which
indicates the front of car Volvo set up.

Not to challenge someone with you expertise, but several of us have acquired
an air intake unit off a PRV Volvo at salvage yards and it was VERY
different from that used on the DeLorean.  

So there is no confusion here, I'm only referring to the "cap" over the
intake and the hose that runs forward.  It MAY have been connected to a box
containing the filter that was similar or even identical to the DeLorean,
but it would have been a seperate unit form the "box" that covers the
butterfly.
