I'm thinking drain the fluid, brush the joint between the head and
block clean where I see it bleedin, slather on the JBweld, wait a day or
3, refill radiator, and give it a try.
The only vergasser I would consider is an e320 or similar. I know a
300E M103 will have a head gasket leak soon, if it does not already
leak. (Unless there is a documented head gasket replacement within a
few years.) I'm looking for a $500 to $1500 heap. That $600 SDL in
Chit cago would be a candidate if it was not so far away.
I'm also considering a 2009+ dogde GC with 150 to 175k as a replacement
for the current one, and relegating the current one to work detail.
Hauling junk around seems to be part of the plan for the next few
yars. I can get one for about 3500.
Around here, people seem to want $1500 for non-running heaps of any
flavor. (not MB) So it looks like some travel will be involved, but I
am gonna check with one local place.

Well, it may be the end of the road for the rusty SDL.
Yesterday there was a puddle in front of it. I saw a wet stream
down the RF of the block from the head gasket. Sad. Should
I try buffing it and JBWeld?
