Re: [MBZ] 108

I have never owned a 108 with a V-8, but the ones I had with the inline six were good cars and did well in the road. I like the simplicity of the sizes and the amount of space in the engine compartment they give you. The V-8s always sort of scared me with their fuel systems and the appearance

Re: [MBZ] 108

The E originally meant fuel injected - and I think for the 108 vintage cars it still did. Until the letters came in front, in the 90's, that's exactly (and only) what E meant. Not definitive, though, as SL's (starting with the gullwing/300) never had an E, even when fuel-injected. -- Jim

Re: [MBZ] 108

I've owned both and like the feel of the 6 cylinder cars over the v8s. A nice running M130 in a 280SE/L is quite powerful. Jaime On Wednesday, August 28, 2013, Kaleb C. Striplin wrote: When speaking of 108s, is the 6 cylinder or v8 better suited to that body? I think I would rather have a

I've owned both and like the feel of the 6 cylinder cars over the v8s. A nice running M130 in a 280SE/L is quite powerful. The M130 in our 250C (convertible) ran quite nicely. IIRC. The Zenith carbs, however... -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To

Re: [MBZ] 108

Now don't start trashing the Zeniths. Jaime and I will have to start defending them. Again. Maybe it's just me, but I had at least three MBs with Zeniths over the years, and I never had a problem with them once they were adjusted and set up properly. Dan On Aug 29, 2013, at 11:02 AM, Jim

I had a couple that leaked on my 1970 250C, but after they were rebuilt and the air cleaner bolt properly tightened I never had a problem with them after that. On Aug 29, 2013, at 11:20 AM, Gary Hurst jabbahur...@gmail.com wrote: you would be less happy with them overall had they leaked

Re: [MBZ] 108

Me too - I've owned 3 W108's with the last being a 4.5 - that engine was amazing - really smooth and powerful - that 280SEL was great on the interstate! Got terrible mpg's but a joy to drive. My 280SEwas an awesome car also - and the engine got low 20s mpg's. Also a beautiful car only

Re: [MBZ] 108

My pick of the 108 litter would be a 280SEL. If the FI got too costly, I am sure I could snag a FI system off a 3.3 dogde or similar and adapticate it. However if the pump is cared for, they will last a lifetime or more. The M130/M180 is so smooth and quiet. They are nice engines,

Re: [MBZ] 108

My 280SE 4.5 got 17 mpg on the highway, and really wanted to run at 90 and up Enormous power out of the 4.5L, much more (and at much lower rpm) than the sixes, which were screaming at highway speed and as a result very fuel hungry (upper teens to very low 20's mpg). Peter
