Detailed Description

This Standard Ignition LX-708 distributor ignition pickup is used in distributor and magneto ignition systems where a stable pickup signal is needed for ignition timing and engine operation. It is listed for 1985-1991 Volvo 740, 1989-1991 Volvo 780, 1985-1987 Volvo 760, and 1985 Volvo 745 applications. If you are searching for a Volvo 740 distributor ignition pickup or a Volvo 760 ignition pickup replacement, LX-708 is the catalog reference to verify against the original unit.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Resolve

• Intermittent or missing ignition trigger signal from the distributor
• Hard starting caused by a failing pickup inside the distributor
• Engine stalling related to inconsistent ignition timing input
• Misfire conditions tied to worn distributor pickup components
• No-start concerns when the distributor signal is not being read correctly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal gender, and terminal count before installation. Match the LX-708 to the original distributor pickup configuration on the vehicle and confirm fitment for the exact Volvo year and model listed. Inspect the distributor assembly for wear, corrosion, or damaged terminals during replacement so the new pickup can operate with a clean electrical connection.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition is a recognized aftermarket source for ignition and electrical service parts. LX-708 should be matched to the original application by part number and connector configuration for accurate replacement service.
