OK, I need to research but need a quick answer. What all is involved in
the later ACC like found on the SDL? I know on the older models you
have the PBU, the blower control, and the temperature control(under the
dash behind glove box). What all is there to the later version? I have

Bob,
Did you check oil level? IIRC, you have no tach, but you may have
been hitting the top revs. Was there oil on the rear of the car?
I ran my 300SD at high revs and lost a lot of oil. Gauge went to 1
bar at 60 mpg. Poured 4 quarts of oil back in and on the road
again. Back bumper,

I've always figured you can't go far wrong adding 1/2pt (8oz) at a time,
waiting for the level to stabilize, and checking it again. Dump in a qt
at a time and you might be looking for a siphon when it ends up a few inches
overfilled.
So the question: could I take a conventional light fixture and run 12v
through it as long as I'm using a 12v bulb?
Absolutely. I'd be in favor of finding one of those 'tensor' style
lamps
that already use 12V incandescent bulbs. I bought a couple of those for
our camper and removed the 12V t
Anybody know how much fluid to add to 91 350SDL transmission to raise fluid
level on stick from 1/4 inch above end of stick to full mark? It's

I had an S15 Jimmy 4x4 with a 2.8l v6 that was pretty gutless but got decent
economy. I think it was rated for 93hp, it would do around 25mpg pretty
reliably and was an excellent woods truck.

Twasn't always thus. Back in the 60s, MB cars appealed to the engineer
