In the red rope folder I've got full of stuff relating to my '76 450SL, I've got R&T Volume 37, Number 7 (March 1986 - Mercedes-Benz 560SL, There's no Substitute for Cubic Dollars); Volume 41, Number 4 (December 1989 - Bargain Exotics, Performance and Prestige in the Used-Car Market . . . 1972-1976 Mercedes-Benz 350/450SL) - Note: This was the article that suggested that "the underhood catalytic converters tended to cook the wiring harnesses and vacuum lines," but I had contacted numerous shops, etc. over the 1.5 years I looked for one of these models and no one mentioned that they'd ever seen this problem with the '75 or '76 model year; Volume 45, Number 7 (March 1994 - 1972-1989 Mercedes-Benz 350/450/380/560 SLs, Status-symbol Bargains for the not-so Rich and Famous). Now if you wanna' talk about vapor lock, that's another story as I believe most of the W107s had this problem with the big engine and not much room under there to dissipate the heat.
