Rather than dredge up several old threads on the subject Ill just link to them.
I have a B230F LH 2.4 in a 122S. I'm running a T-5 transmission and I've tried several things to get the Volvo speed sensor to work.
As an experiment I wired up the Ford speed sensor..
It works great!!!
This is hooked up to a non ABS speedometer. (12 pulses/tire revolution).
I got lucky with the first driven gear and it is accurate within 1 MPH.
By changing the drive gear and the driven gear you can compensate for different gear ratios and tire sizes.
There probably isn't a combination that will work with the ABS speedometer (48 pulses/tire revolution). But if you are not using ABS this may work for you.
As a bonus, the Volvo Speedometer cable can be modified to work with the Ford speed sensor if you are using a cable driven speedometer and just the electronics from the newer speedometer to satisfy the ECU.
There are lots of threads on this subject, heres just 3.
