Re: [MBZ] Free to good home

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 I had to go back and check my post, I can see the disconnect.
I traded the '91 for the parts. The '84 got sold for $200. Sadly I don't 
remember what happened to the $200. I still have both the BMW jack and the lug 
wrench although I'm actually thinking it might have been from the BMW. Its 
shaped like a crank.

My dad bought a Simca in the mid-to-late 50s. He traded it in on a
1960 Ford Falcon, so our family had two Fords, the '60 Falcon and a

Re: [MBZ] Free to good home

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

the mazda Diesel frod used was a knock off of the VW engine.  Only major 
difference: mazda reversed the IP and ran it on a separate belt off the 
back of the belt driven camshaft.   They were better than the BMW.  The 
early frods had a recall for a head gasket.   I did the headgasket 
myself at over 100k. At that point, the cylinders looked like new, and 
the head was perfectly flat.   The body rusted away but the engine was 
still good. I'd say they were as good as a vw Diesel of the era.

The 2.3L Mustang/Tempo engine was directly descended from the 2300 
Pinto engine.
The 2.0L Escort/Tempo diesel was a Mazda with a belt drive injection 
pump and an aluminum head. Reliable like a BMW aluminum head diesel, 
not like an OM601/602/603.

The 2.3l 4spd was a good combo in the older car, had enough grunt to be fairly driveable. IIRC the engine was from Mazda so it was reasonably skookum for a 1980's 4 banger.

[MBZ] Free to good home

[Dwight Giles via Mercedes]

Chilton's *Chevrolet/GMC Trucks 1988-90, *repair manual. 572 pages. NO
greasy thumb prints-what does that say for my old 1988 Jimmy. (Engine blew
up so had to get a Jasper reman.)
Yours for postage.

Benz content-sold my Jimmy for my 79 240D.

Re: [MBZ] Free to good home - W115 220 gas - SF Bay Area

[Dwight Giles via Mercedes]

I am GUESSING it would cost 600 USD. You don't need a closed hauler for
this. Might cost a little extra to winch a non running vehicle. Might still
be a bahgain.

You can get magnetic tail lights that will connect to the tow vehicle 
trailer plug.


With a bit more time, many (all?) of these cars have a rear-end
electrical plug under the dash, and you could unplug it and tap
into the car's own rear lighting with alligator clips.

Yeah, but then ya gotta run wires from the dash through the cabin to the
back of the tow vehicle, etc.  Simpler to rig stuff at the rear of the
vehicle.

Hi Craig,
I did some snoping on the EPC and came out short so without a part
number I guess it will remain a mystery. My 560SL has blue leather and
I am sure the W123 is MB-Tex but that wouldn't be a concern.

Thanks anyway,
John
