Re: [MBZ] (SPAM?) 1984 230E
March 2006) was a 1984 230CE and it was carbureted. That's really weird, because the E (before this whole 'class' nonsense) meant fuel-injected. e.g. the 280 and 280E 123's, etc. I thought the class crap began when the flipped the letters and the numbers around. -- Jim ___ 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://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] (SPAM?) 1984 230E
The E AFTER a number meant Einspritz, the german word for fuel Injection. Of course this only applied to gassers. Diesles had the letter D obviously so a 230 had carbs a 230E had Einspritz same with 250, 280 Etc E before the number means nothing. It is used only to identify the midrange car. Dieselhead Who can only tolerate gassers if they have E Jim wrote: That's really weird, because the E (before this whole 'class' nonsense) meant fuel-injected. e.g. the 280 and 280E 123's, etc. I thought the class crap began when the flipped the letters and the numbers around.

The same is true of old BMWs---the ones with an i on the end are injected, and the ones without are carbed. They used to stick very strictly to their naming convention, just like M-B, but the system started to break down in the mid-'80s, though, when the 325 model had fuel-injection and had a 2.8-liter engine instead of a 2.5-liter. Snook's new baby is a 740iL---7 body, 4.0-liter engine, injected, long wheelbase, so it still holds by and large. Not sure what the i stood/stands for, unless it's inietzione, which I think I have seen on the back of Alfas. ;) What I really like is the badge on the back of some '80s-'90s Cadillacs, about three inches long, which proudly announces ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION in a very solemn serif typeface. If anyone finds one of those on their next PnP trip and sends it to me I will gladly pay you a few bucks for your time---I'd like to stick one on the back of the POS 300E. ;) Alex ___ 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://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

So you can show the world that you are ignorant? 300E has electro mechanical injection.
