Thanks for the reactions. I haven't done much yet. It's a B230A engine; 2,3l carb.
I have some problems with the carb. It an old Stromburg. I had a specialist looked at it but that did not help much. He says he helps me with e new, beter carb, I wait, hpoe and call him often..
It's an overdrive. That really helps much in MPG!
Frontdam/lowering: I spend the last 25 years working with aerodynamics, With the Volvo, I am not sure it will help. Lowering it with 4 cm will infect comfort much.
Ground clearance is quite high, so cleaning the underbelly stream good be the best option.

Question: I heard that using syntetic oil is not good for old cars. Is any of that true?
