Hi,
The 82 300CD starter problem has been solved...almost. It needed both a new
starter and neutral start interlock switch. While it waits for the new switch,
can anyone tell me where to jumper the switch from inside the car? I can do it

This is true of all gasser benzes -- they LOVE to run, and you get
much more power at the upper end of the rpm range that the bottom.
Also, the linkage opens the throttle in a very linear manner, leading
