Re: [MBZ] Stop me please before I do something I will regret

Every older car has a GOTCHA in terms of some inane part that floors you when you get the price quote. Until today, I would have said my Volvo 164e was the exception to that rule... until I called the dealer for a water pump... $353 Cdn. Ha ha ha ha ha, etc. Even the aftermarket is $135. Anyway,

Yawn, it's late just finished a 3 hour highway drive in the w140, really nice to drive. So lets see... a) 92/93+ had shimmy problems, fixed that by redoing suspension system which lowered the car an inch or so. b) expect the oem expensive blower regulator to fail, third-party or later regul

Re: [MBZ] Boost line check valve?

Casey, I have been playing with the signal to the ALDA with the 617 engine, not yours though. If there is a check valve (at least on the 617) the ALDA will stay pressurized from your peak boost even after you take your foot off the go pedal. Until it leaks down to the correct intake pressure you

Spell check won't catch things like this. The words are spelled correctly and that's all the computer is looking for. Someone on the list here with a PhD can't figure out the difference between '' then '' and '' than '' so it's not uncommon. Maybe is dyslexia.

My rationale (if you can call it that) is that suppose I would end up putting in $1k or$2k over a year, then having a $2k or$3k solid, decent looking, nearly 30 yr old car, probably better than any other POS you could buy for that kind of money. Insurance is nothing, But then again it is not
