[DML] Re: Broke frequency valve line fitting

["supermattthehero" <supermatty@xxxxxxx>]

Woohoo, a solution to my own post!  
Welp, today I braved an ice storm and went to a 400 acre "u-pull-it" 
junkyard hoping to find a frequency valve assembly in some busted up 
volvo.  After spending about 45 minutes just getting soak and wet, I 
finally came across a 240 (I think?? The emblem was missing.) which 
had the frequency valve assembly intact!  Now keep in mind, I only 
actually needed the fuel hose that connects to the top of it.  I 
carefully removed the whole thing anyway, and when I took it to the 
counter, he looked at it and said, "Bah, just take it!"  What a way 
to save $40 for a new line!  I also grabbed a bunch banjo bolts 
since they're impossible to find in stock anywhere local.  

Perhaps this will prove useful to someone looking for a quick cross 
reference.  By looking at some other older cars that were there, 
i.e., volvo, bmw, alfa romeo, it appears the cold start valve is 
also the same as on the DeLorean.
