Ah, the joys of the holiday season. My alternator started to 'chatter' this
afternoon (actually, it sounded more like the water pump at the time). At 4
p.m. it seized up solid, belt melted off, etc.
My two 240Ds (w123s, 1982) are parked at a storage lot. Anyone know if a
quick change will work?
Will it fit the mount? That is all I'd worry about in such an emergency
situation. Volts are volts coming out of the alternator; only the amps will
be different.

can any of you tell me what is involved in titling a car bought with a bill

The seller says that it is done often enough that I need not worry and that
I can either do it my self or have a pro do it for a small fee! Is that true

It's state-dependent. In WA the process for seizing a title involves
registered mail to the PO of record. I'm unsure about a car that was
titled in a different state. But your

Depends on what state you are in. It could be a hassle but not
undoable. Here in OK there is a procedure to go thru on cars with no
title. Basically what you are doing is putting a storage lien on it or
repair lien or whatever. You get some paperwork from the state DMV,
fill it out, you

the same for each.

Isn't the torque rating for the OM603.97 engines higher than the .96,

Biodiesel:
The OM603.97 engine develops about 10% more torque than the OM603.96
engne did. The reason the '90-'91 603.97 engines had lower power was
because they were rev limited to about 4200rpm (max hp is at 4400-4600
rpm). After the rev limit wa removed (alowed to go to 5100) ower came
right up to 148 hp.
There used to be companies who advertised they would get a valid title in
Alabama - at that time, Ala didn;t require a title - a bill of sale would
satisfy the state department of transportation.
I'm pretty sure they no longer allow that kind of registration - at least
not as easy as it used
The first thing I would do is get the full VIN and stop by your local
police station. Let them know you are looking at the vehicle but the
seller claims the title was lost and you want to make sure it isn't
reported stolen before you buy it.
