[MBZ] found a fixer '78 300CD

[kevin kraly]

Well, I just found a 1978 300CD that's also on the list of possibilities. 
It has 265K miles, no working glow plugs, but it has a good, straight body. 
The guy isn't a mechanic, so he gave up on it.  Unlike the experience with 
the 220 gasser (getting yelled at when I tried to test the starter), I get 
to hook my auto zone super cranker battery up to it to see if I can get some 
go out of it.  I know that there's a way to hook up jumpers from the glow 
plugs to the battery to get glow function.  I believe that the procedure 
involved a jumper from 5 to positive and another from 1 to negative.  If 
this is wrong, please feel free to correct me.  I think this one's looking 
better than the 240D!
