Poulsbo. Lots of square heads up there. Heck, anywhere on the upper

away from the water and the cost does drop a bit.

It sure has been colder this summer. Should have quit raining by now,
but just keeps coming. Maybe that global warming hoax is changing the
weather patterns. That will wreak havok on the diesel sales.
Propbably increase the prices of Benz though. Seen them almost double

Yeah, but Brian is moving to the wet, wet side. Might get some action
when the Olympics blow, but they seem sort of quiet. Prevailing winds
are going to take the ash to Jim anyway. I vote the trees and

Jim, does it still have the under dash panel for the driver side? I
really need one for Gump if you are not using it.

At the U-Pull today there is a 190E, and a 76 300D.
For comparison my 86 E350LWB conversion w/ 6.9 and C6 gets 15 pulling a 17
foot car trailer at up to 60MPH and around 12 at anything up to 70. Above
that it REALLY drops off...to around 8 I think, with 3.73 gears. At 55MPH
it doesn't matter if it's empty or pulling a 36' camper it gets 15.

yes, it is.

It's more for aesthetic reasons. The seats in the 240D have some tears and

good seat covers. But the 240D is brown. I don't suppose it's possible to
re-dye MB-Tex is it?

I swapped the 87 300TD with leaking head gasket for Dan Holden's 82 300Dt. I
just didn't have them time to do such a big job, even with my mechanic friends
help and then if the head was bad, that would have made it, maybe, not worth my

I'm in Auburn, so I'm screwed if Rainier has a really big eruption.
I've got about an hour and a half to get to high ground, in that case.

It does not. Seems they rarely sport them by this age.

All in all - that's what I get for taking a chance with a 603 #14 head. I

I started in the manual where it said clutch does not engage.
Worked for about an hour trying to get my instrument panel pulled to change
out my speedometer on my 1979 240D. On my old 1977 300D it was easy to push

Ah, well in that case unless it's a euro w126 with manual seats, or you
happen to love rewiring jobs in your spare time, pass on the whole idea as
getting the wiring looms for the power seat controls out of the 126 isn't
exactly the last word in fun -- more so if the PnP you were at has the cars

Well, my understanding (IIRC from Stu Ritter) is that all SEDAN/COUPE seats
are interchangeable (as to bolt in bolt out with the bases) from about
1959-1989. Later sedans, and SLs/SLCs are not.
I know that w123 - w116 - w126 are for sure, as I had w123 seats in my w116,
and Dave Quay used to put

Any one ever had a ring gear that came adrift from the flywheel? I
bought a parts/fixerupper manual, 77 240D (from a list member

Heat from slipping clutch toasted the clutch and heated the flywheel
enough to dislodge the shrunk-on ring gear?
