    The 0701 and the 0801 are identical with the exception of the brass plate. And, it could be used with that as well. I was lucky to get this, they're hard to find.

    Volvo 250 is getting wet

    For years, I've realized that my old 1969 250 outdrive has been taking on a little bit of water. I never considered it a big deal. The old girl doesn't get out much, so it's no big deal to change the...

    Dye the oil.

    Does anyone know if there is some sort of dye I can put in the outdrive to make it easier to check the level? I can never see it on the dipstick, what is safe to use. Thanks
