Re: [MBZ] Gas vs. diesel prices?

Hehe, really big changes from when I was a student there 30 years ago, although Bloomingfoods still has a store downtown and it looks pretty much like it did then. In those days, town ended at College Mall on the east side, and all the students, by and large, lived in town. Now they live out

[MBZ] thanks for monovalve advice

Thanks to listers Royce Engler, Peter Frederick, and Glenn Brown (and others, if I missed any) for advice on my intermittent heat problem in my 300D. I ordered a monovalve insert from Rusty and installed it today, problem solved. My heat is working flawlessly now. Allan -- 1983 300D 1966 230
