Ok, my 67 300SEL it back on the road. I rebuilt the fan coupling from my parts car and swapped it in. I also put the radiator in from the parts car, as it looks to be a pretty fresh 3-row recore. And new belts, since the old ones were oil soaked.
So far, running in the driveway at fast idle with the AC on there are no oil leaks. I'll start driving it and see if I can stress it and be sure its good. I'll probably rebuild the coupler I took off the car and keep it as a spare (and take it on the trip). While its my favorite feature of the car, it also makes me a bit nervous Jaime On Thu, Aug 15, 2019 at 8:58 PM Jaime Kopchinski <[email protected]> wrote: > I thought we were going to make it the M189 year!
