So the AC does not kick on in this $350 copart car with the factory crate motor.  I hooked the ac machine up to it today and there was no pressure at all.  I pulled a vacuum for 10 minutes and had the machine do a leak test.  It failed.  What do you bet its the evaporator?   I will probably

Were I able to figure out how to remove the ignition switchs at PnP, I would have a few back ups to my tumblers getting stuck. There were two cars with keys at the yard, but I could not free the lock, so no pulling a complete lock set. That would have made my parts shelf happy. clay 1974

Re: [MBZ] 140 diesel vacuum system

Yea but I could not make heads or tails out of it. I did figure it out though.  The vacuum line going to the vac port on top of the first pod was connected to the out port instead, so it was venting all of the vacuum.  The line that remains disconnected was on the vent side anyway so it

Re: [MBZ] Opinions on speakers

The second gen W126s had an excellent sound system. If there was a negative it was that it was underpowered and the amps would easily clip at high levels. The later Bose systems are excellent in my opinion, and if you can get past the understanding that they were considered state of the art

Re: [MBZ] Opinions on speakers

From what I know about speaker brands (really based more on home audio rather than car audio) I don't think that Bose speakers are anything super special. If the current setup sounds fine I would leave it the way it is. That said, I'm very happy with the sound of the premium system (with Bose
