Meaning did it originally have loop plugs? Yes. Do you need adapters? No. Q sells the big base pencil style plugs.
Until yesterday I'd thought that the convert type plugs weren't as good as the small base plugs because my car really won't start without the block heater below about 15F. My '83 240D would start pretty well down to about -5F. Then yesterday the dammed car wouldn't start at 80F without glowplugs. I'm thinking this car has lower compression than the '83 which is amazing considering the horrors that car went through under my ownership. Last when I started driving this car (the '78 I mean) full time again I thought it had a dragging brake it was so slooooow. Now a week later (and a 300 mile round trip to Maine last weekend) its starting to pick back up. Apparently it had carboned up will riding the 20 mile round trip my wife takes to work... -Curt Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2012 10:17:40 -0400 From: Mitch Haley <m...@voyager.net> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] HA!

Does your head require thread adapters for the modern plugs? _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
