Start engine, disconnect glow plug connector from glow plug relay, and connect to your new combining harness, I presume. > I found that by retarding the timing, not only did the idle speed > increase, but so did the heat of combustion.

For a W123, the phrase "three complete clock-wise wrench revolutions" doesn't apply. > Going for a test drive shortly.
