Re: [MBZ] New refrigerant
>From the November Porsche Panorama: First Freon was the culprit in damage to the atmosphere and now it's replacement, R134a also has been found to be an environmental hazard and will be banned as of 2011 in the EU. The new refrigerant, known as R744, is carbon dioxide (CO2) based. R744 has a GWP of 1, the lowest possible level, whereas R134a has a GWP of 1430. GWP is a new measure and stands for Global Warming Potential. No word on when the U.S. will follow suit on the ban but it is expected to be near simultaneous. The new refrigerant is fortunately 25% more efficient the R134a. ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] Who knows about Quincy air compressors?
Been to the factory. Interestingly enough, it is located in Quincy. They build a decent standard type industrial compressor range. Parts are available for most, I imagine. There is also a shop in Quincy that handles repair parts for all kinds of compressors. The heavy hitter there in Quincy is Gardner Denver, who used to build lots of engine driven compressors, but now are into bigger stuff. There is also a stove company in Quincy that builds custom commercial stoves and ovens that dates back to 1830 or so. Interesting place to visit, and just a few miles up The River from Hannibal, of Mark Twain fame.

Re: [MBZ] Diesel bulletproofness
You can kill a diesel just as fast as you can kill a gasser. They are more tolerant of poor fuel, but lack of oil changes ages them pretty fast, and they are generally more expensive to fix. I'm thinking I'm going to play engine swap from my old car (275,000 miles and almost undetectable blowby) to the new one (about 290,000 with significant blowby). Synthetic oil makes all the difference, I'd bet they were almost identical in condition at 150,000 or so when I got mine. With regular synthetic oil changes on a 60x, you should get a million miles out of the bottom half. Probably a couple cracked heads along the way, and a valve job every 250,000 or so.

You also have significantly less boilover protection, which is far more important in Arizona than freeze protection in the summer. Winter in the hills can get ya, though.

Back in the day, I think it was $74.50 for the .22 carbine, $87.50 for the Deluxe Sporter, and $98.50 for the International (all three with walnut stocks about 35 years ago) A gun dealer near me had a set of Internationals, one in .44, the other in .22 (the only .44 International I've ever seen). Wanted $600 for the pair in the mid-1980's. I'd pay that $600 now if I could get them that cheap. On the 45-70 front: http://hr1871.com/Firearms/Rifles/buffalo.aspx H&R makes a neat single shot, 32" barrel, checkered walnut, complete with peep sights. Runs $300+, they call it the Buffalo Classic. I've got a basic H&R (actually NEF Handi-Rifle) in 45-70. 22" barrel, matte receiver, black plastic stocks. Got it on a distributor closeout for $170 a few years ago.

I don't buy the proposition that rain alone (absent salt from road treatments) is incapable of rusting cars.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Gun surprise
"Custom cartridge" is a relative term. Around the turn of the century (20th century I mean) there were LOTS of cartridges you don't see much any more. 45-90, 45-110, 45-120...

Re: [MBZ] OT: Gun surprise
i have to go research this. the gun that won the west is the winchester model of 1873, which i don't think was chambered in 45-70. the 45-70 also dates to that time. 30-30 was later and arrived with perhaps hte most famous lever action of them all, the winchester 1894. now in the movie winchester 1873, jimmy stewart has to help the cavalry fight off a group of indians. the army carries single shot rifles, putting them at a firepower disadvantage to the indians, who use lever action repeaters, thereby requiring the help of the civilians so they don't get custerized. it doesn't seem from here that we can easily make the connections between the lame single fire 45-70 rifles and the winning of the west. where is the smoking gun here?

Re: [MBZ] OT: Gun surprise
Well, it was the cartridge that decimated the buffalo herds. That is a nice rifle. Buy it for me Dad? A lot of federal troops in the west had 45-70s. Most were rolling block or drop-block single shot rifles, as in the Sharps I saw. It was a model 1873, I think 187? anyhow. The 30-30 came in as a civilian rifle. I am not sure if the government ever used the 30-30 officially. If so, it would have been in the 1870-1905 era. 30-06 was standard military issue from 1906 until the m-14 came out with .308 1960 or so. 308 was superceded by the .223 in the M-16.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Gun surprise
Hi Curt, Great rifle you have! Excellent Deer rifle - especially in brushy areas. That .44 will knock down anything in its way ;-) If the liberals have their way, you'd have to fill out the fed and state paperwork and have a State Police background check before he could give that to you. They talk about the great Gun Show loophole but there isnt one - the FBI did an extensive study and even asked prisoners who *all* said they never got guns at Gun Shows or Gun Dealers. Enjoy that rifle - it should shoot great!

I say, what do you mean the car won't turn off. Well, I can't find where to turn it off. How did you turn it on? With the key in the ignition switch. Well, turn it the other way and it will go off. I can't find it. What do you mean you can't find it, its right where you turned it on. No its not there. So I go to wherever she was, and sure enough, there is no key or ignition switch, just a hole. The switch was mounted on the console (where everything could fall into it, but that is another thing), and poked down beneath the car, where salt and other road mess could get up there into and around it. It just rusted out there where the ignition switch hole was, and the whole deal fell down under the car while she was driving it. I managed to crawl under (not a lot of room there, hot stuff too) and get hold of it and turn the key off. Then sorta jammed it back up in the hole so she could get home later. She took it to a shop where they had some kind of shim insert to fix the thing -- "it happens all the time on these cars." So, there you go.

Re: [MBZ] OT - 6.2 diesel suburban gotchas
My 87 K30 crew cab dually that I just got running looks like it's getting in the neighborhood of 17 mpg or so. TH400, no overdrive, 4x4, dually, with what feels like 4.10 gears. Sad thing is that's about the mileage of the 05 dodge crew cab dually 4x4, with a cummins, six speed manual, and 3.73s. Granted the cummins has almost twice the torque of the 6.2. The 6.2 was quite a fuel efficient engine for what it was. On Thu, Nov 15, 2007 at 10:45:22AM -0600, R A Bennell wrote: > What sort of fuel mileage can one expect from such a beast?

Re: [MBZ] Stop me please
just bought an 88 900 turbo. Not sure if it's an SPG, but the guy claimed it was. In any case, it's faster than anything else i've had (?) or at least it -feels- faster.

Re: [MBZ] new aquisition: Projeckt-Wagen #1
rust is not bad. No holes in the floor, for example. Door/panel rust can be repaired (will use Bergsma's fiberglass method). Rocker panels need a little reinforcement. Interior is fabulous, except for drivers seat. Totally dry, except for valve cover leak. It was a good buy.

[MBZ] OT: Gun surprise
My wife and I play cards with her grandparents on Sunday nights. Last Sunday when we went over her Grandfather pulled me aside "I've got a rifle I want you to have". Turns out its a Ruger .44 Mag autoloading carbine. Looks like a 10/22 but bigger and with a non-removable magazine. Pretty much perfect shape, some small scratches on the stock. As a rifle its ugly as sin but I bet it'll be fun to shoot and a handy little deer rifle. He even had 2 boxes of ammo -Curt - Be a better pen pal. Text or chat with friends inside Yahoo! Mail.

There's enough circuitry in any of them to cause some really weird behavior when something goes wrong. I've repaired around a dozen of these things, using nothing but solder. (And one that required a capacitor, too.) You have to be able to solder fairly well, however, it's a big job and a fairly touchy one as well. http://userweb.windwireless.net/~jimc/cwcruise.html I figure on about two hours to repair one, not including removal and installation, or paint stripper time. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] Stop me please
I had a girlfriend back when who had one of those things, one day she calls me from work and says the car won't turn off. I say, what do you mean the car won't turn off. Well, I can't find where to turn it off. How did you turn it on? With the key in the ignition switch. Well, turn it the other way and it will go off. I can't find it. What do you mean you can't find it, its right where you turned it on. No its not there. So I go to wherever she was, and sure enough, there is no key or ignition switch, just a hole. The switch was mounted on the console (where everything could fall into it, but that is another thing), and poked down beneath the car, where salt and other road mess could get up there into and around it. It just rusted out there where the ignition switch hole was, and the whole deal fell down under the car while she was driving it. I managed to crawl under (not a lot of room there, hot stuff too) and get hold of it and turn the key off. Then sorta jammed it back up in the hole so she could get home later. She took it to a shop where they had some kind of shim insert to fix the thing -- "it happens all the time on these cars." So, there you go. Don't let your girlfriend drive it, or your wife either. --R >> Somebody please talk me out of this car.

How likely is it that a key was left in the pan AT THE FACTORY in the first place? THAT seems unlikely to me... I'd think the pan would be about the last thing installed on a new engine and probably done at its own "station" on the line. More likely, if the story is true at all, it was dropped in during some subsequent repair or maintenance job.

Black, oriented narrow edge forwards, pins down. (The kick panel has the small relays behind it.) Two rows of pins, one row longer than the other.

One is labeled 87 on the relay, the other is, IIRC, 30. Be careful, 30 is hot at all times. I use a switch with two pins salvaged from a wiring harness.

Re: [MBZ] Combustion improving inventions
There's one being pimped by a guy named Dennis Lee for gasoline engines - he claims fuel economy improvements of 50% to 200%. Purely voodoo. The guy also claims to have a "pre-ignition catalytic converter" that reduces fuel to plasma and will enable your engine to run on any liquid including steak sauce or pickle juice (but have you priced pickle juice at the pump lately?,) a free electricity device (perpetual motion plus) and a noiseless jackhammer. There is a guy locally selling the "gas-saver" for $1,500 installed.
