D/C has said it is considering all options, including the possible sale, of Chrysler. But shareholders said the company is not moving fast enough.

Re: [MBZ] OT '69 230 CARBS QUESTION
You know, you can get those webers pretty cheap used, and they don't usually wear out. You'd possibly need to come up with adapters and such, but if you're getting them piecemeal you could probably save some cash. I've seen the webers with adapters for other applications go as low as $150 instead of the $550+ for kits that they seem to command new. There are also other options if you're willing to get creative. A GM throttle body or two with megasquirt, pair of dualjets, pair of holley two barrels... But, I'd think that $2500 for a car with jacked up carbs is a little steep. Then again, that's just me.

Re: [MBZ] MB warranty question
I doubt you'll have much success. If you were a frquent customer buying a new MB every couple of years they might be willing to spend a couple hundred making it right. But I susupect you're like most of the reat of us buying bargains when they jump out at us - and then, only when it;s a real opportunity or personal situation makes the purchase necessary. MB warrants parts for 1 year IIRC - I don't believe they'll double that for any reason unless you just wrote a check for a S600. ;-) No warranty on labor I believe. Asking for some relief will depend on what kind of future customer they perceive you might be.

Re: [MBZ] OT '69 230 CARBS QUESTION
Zenith's are a little different from the other carbs,once you have the service manual for them ( 108 service manual) they are easy to set up correctly and perform perfectly. I have no problems with my 230 220S and 280S after I got the grasp of the jets and fuel flows from the carb diagram. synchronising them with a JCWhitney synchroniser is easy. mak Also, rebuilding the carbs is easy but make sure you pay attention to detail set every adjustment absolutely exact. More carbs are screwed up by the owner mis-adjusting than from any other cause. More often than not, the float is set wrong.

Re: [MBZ] No. 1 ignition position for radio
On my 1983 300TD the wipers are keyed to Ignition I but not the 280SE W111. Perhaps the hot option is the way to go. On 4/4/07, Jim Cathey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sounds like this means that the only options for my radio are either always hot or Ignition II? Do you recommend that I link power to the clock? Will that mean that the antenna never retracts? The antenna would retract when the radio was turned off. The battery would die when the radio was not turned off. Not sure how good a trade this is. The Becker Grand Prix radios will actually turn back on when the key is off if you poke the ON button again. I think somebody even said it was timed. They take both switched and unswitched power, of course. I've never looked at the electrical portion of the older ignition switch to see what is actually available there. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] Freightliner motorhome
Check the Other for sale link. Looks pretty nice. A bit too cramped for my taste. Going solo that would be a fine ride.

Re: [MBZ] Belleville washers - THANKS BUT...
But, I can't see how these washers (present, inverted, broken or absent) can cause or contribute to the frantic vibration in the exhaust system. Someone on the list mentioned them in a posting last year as a possible factor. Nor do I. Are you sure all the mounts are there and functional? Especially the set in the middle that tie to the transmission? -- Jim No Jim, I'm not sure but I'm gonna go lookin'. It's the one thing I haven't checked properly. Thanks for your helpful suggestions. I'll report back. Euan
