This may be a wierd question but when did they switch from the York
to the Gm compressor happen on the 123? My very first car was a 79
240d and I thought it had the York. I was looking at a 79 240d on
eBay and it has the Gm.
I saw a 78 or 79 300d on eBay the other day and it had the York. So
just curious if anybody knew when the change happened.

My 80 and 81 both have GM. If you've seen 79s with both york and
GM, that was probably the transition year. 80 had series GPs and 81
has pencil type. Both now have pencil type due to engine swap in the
80.
78 had swing tube intake and bellcrank accelerator linkage. My 80
had and has the flat intake and newer style throttle without the
bellcrank. That tends to indicate 79 was a transition year.
