1983 D24T cold drive.

[VolvoGabe]

Hi, as a few of you know I picked up a stock 1983 760 Turbo Diesel a few months ago, but being new to the scene I am still a bit lost of how to drive it when the engine is cold. For example, I was told they don't like to idle to warm up, but be driven pretty quickly after the D24 has started. However when I drive it and the engine is cold, I take my time and don't rev it that high, but I end up causing a line up of cars behind me because it is so gutless. My rev gauge doesn't work, but it sounds like I don't take it above 1500-2000rpm when I drive it first thing in the morning.

For you who daily a D24 powered Volvo, how do you drive it when it's cold? Thanks.
