Hood Scoop That should solve the underhood squeeze and be that much cooler looking. Using the older 616 with oil bath air filter gives a bit more clearance and all I would need is the valve cover chromed. clay On 26 Jul 2007, at 22:50, Alex Chamberlain wrote: On 7/26/07, Redghost [EMAIL

That would be so cool to snag it for a low price since he thinks it may not function. I have a good laugh when the boys at the shop call and want to know how to start Gump. I have not had too great an issue with the guys at the stealership. Was at the shop for a tech session for the local

Oh you are a vulture Kevin, just waiting for me to drop dead and then swoop in and snatch Gump and Cleo. I wouldn't worry too much. I've seen a few '72 220D's on this side of the Columbia, most would be considered project cars. There's a guy who has a '72 220D for sale, one of three Mercedes

Apparently one of my parents neighbors has a 6cyl diesel that says e300 on the back. They're thinking late 80's early 90's. Yes, that's the one with the 606.912 NA engine with the variable length intake runners. The '95 model was a W124 (clay owns one) while the '96 and '97's were W210's.

If it's an 87, it's a W124 300D turbo, hot car but not 36 mpg. Later 300Ds with the 2.5L turbo get milage like that. The E300 with a 605 3.0L non-turbo diesel are later (95 or so), good performance for a non-tubo and at least 36 mpg, maybe more. Some models also have a turbo, GREAT cars

Sounds like the 603 or 606 w124. Not sure how long the tranny lasts, but my E300D is not a race car. Does go, but not like a scalded dog. clay On 26 Jul 2007, at 07:30, Levi Smith wrote: OK, I dunno much about the Benz's other than the w123's I've been studying for the last couple
