I am interested in what other people think might be wrong.
The car in question is a Volvo 164, Automatic transmission.
Is on its original B30 engine (3 L straight 6), has dual Strombergs (it was built before the D-Jetronic injection system was standard) and has only done about 100k miles.
It decided not to start one day so we took a look at it.
Started with the carburettors because the last time it acted like that, that was the problem. It wasn't.
Checked the spark plugs, and checked and replaced the leads to the distributor with no luck.
Checked the distributor, and although it was a bit rough it wasn't the problem.
Changed the coil and found no luck either.
We ran out of day so we left it until the next day. None of us had any clue at all as to what was wrong.
The next day when we tried starting it we had a bunch of transmission fluid pissing out of the car from some overflow.
I get a feeling that they aren't related, but I'm not sure.
So, any ideas?
