Well I went to go start my 81 Volvo today and the oil pressure light would not go out. I checked the oil and it’s perfectly full. I had changed it about a month and a half ago when I first got it so it was fresh. I drained the oil and it was nice and glittery. So now I don’t know what to do. My car is a Canadian it is a K jet B23 so I probably won’t be able to source an exact replacement here in the states. Could I get a later model B230 and put my head, distributor, and FI as a direct swap? Should I bite the bullet and get a late model B230 and swap it over to MS EFI and get rid of the K Jet headache? None of the options really scare me I just don’t have 6 months to spend on it. LS2/T56 swap?

I say Whiteblock swap! Those turbo 5s sound wicked at full boil!

A bad pressure sending unit seems like the one of the simplest possibilities. I’d be surprised if it IPD or FCP couldn’t supply the right one.
I don’t know if there were any significant differences between the B23 Canada got in ‘81 & when we got it as the B23F here in the States, though.
EDIT: just noticed the “nice & glittery” part when you drained the oil. Booo.

I had an 82 with the B23E with K-jet, apparently the extra power is just higher CR and the K cam, although that’s just going off forums
