Another thing to be aware of is Volvo used 3 or 4 different versions of
the laycock overdrive D-type, J-type, and M-type seem to ring a bell but
don't quote me on that. I was once offered one out of a late 60's Volvo
but I found out it was the same model overdrive as the early MGBs used I
don't remember which model that i off the top of my head. When I was
looking for info on Volvo overdrives a few years ago I found a very good
Volvo site that detailed all the permutations and combinations that
Volvo used do a search on Volvo and overdrive and see what info you come
up with.
