Re: [MBZ] Back to vacuum lines!
There is a problem. The 1980 300SD, I believe is a 116, not a 126 chassis. Chuck Landenberger used to have a 116 SD. Maybe someone on the list does. The vacuum diagrams should be somewhat similar to a 126, but may be different, especially under the dash. A 1980 Sd would have the Crypsler ACC servo. I am not sure if it has the vacuum valve/switch array for the flaps as a 126 does. I could get some pics of the 84 SD tonight, I presume things should be fairly similar. Do you have the 126 repair CDs? That has some semi-useful information in it. --R On 4/15/2010 1:43 PM, Chris N John wrote: Hello helpers!
