I think so. I put a whole new set in a year or so ago when I couldn't
get it to go. I had inadvertently run it out of fuel as I was watching
for the orange low fuel light to come on and on that occasion it did not
light up. Since then, it seems to work fine but I have learned a lesson
and no longer rely upon that warning light.

My 76 300D gets to where it really does not want to start up even at
50 F even with the block heater plugged in. It cranks pretty good and
tries to start but often takes several tries and runs pretty slow
until it really gets going. I know you folks have told me I need to
check my valve adjustments but have yet to do it. It runs fine in
warmer weather and I rarely need to run it in the cooler weather so it
has not really caused me much grief. It sounds like it is not hitting
on all cylinders and I have to keep the starter cranking longer than I
like so I am concerned that I may do some ultimate harm to the
starter. Maybe, if the weather holds for another week or two, I will
pull the cover and have a go at it. I put the car in the garage last
night and it may well stay there until spring. The insurance has been
changed to storage only so I cannot drive it now in any event.

The 617 in the '76 300D started great with M1 at -5, but would hardly
crank
with dino oil without the engine heater.
ou are right - the 60x engines are a whole different story - great
engines
all around.

Uhhhh, no. BTDT got the t-shirt. At -10F a 616 is iffy, at -20F it
will not
start Mobil 1 be dammed. That was with my '83 240D, the starter just
can't
spin the engine fast enough long enough to start at that temp.
60x engine is a whole different story.
