I am going to replace the short coolant hose between the block and the thermostat mount on my 85 300D. Is there anything I need to know before getting into it? I have ordered a new thermostat and the gasket between the block and the mount.
Thanks,

Be sure not to scratch or cut the hose fitting on the thermostat housing or
block. A small scratch from a razor knife used to cut the old hose off can
cause a leak.
Don't ask me how I know..

I am thinking some RTV on the 300D. The windscreens seals are shot and
slobber water all over the trunk and footwells. I do not need wet coming in on
my head while on the track.
The racing seat arrived. Now I have to figure out how to accommodate drivers

Dang, that is nasty.
I have been playing with the paint for the 300D. After pulling the antenna
and the body side moldings, I have a number of holes that need attention.
Bondo is doing the job for now. Silver paint on the car was sort of

The whole theory of the car is that it will be entered in the 24 hours of

the freebie section of CL for all I can repurpose to get it going. T
Local tranny from PnP is in the $99 range. I am assuming any trans from the

well versed on why the trans is producing more torque than the engine can
defeat. If I had a clean room, I would gladly do a rebuild with a k
So, the TC is toast in your description. That sort of makes sense. Still
would need to remove the trans to install a fresh TC.

That is easy. When you pull the parts and pedals, take out the short
piece of tubing and the hose. Plumbing done. The master cyl comes
out with the pedals.

I tried RTV on the 450SLC, didn't work. That's why I suggested MIG/TIG.

There are two sources of stall torque I can think of within
the AT: 1) The TC's stator is just that: static, so if the
TC's vanes are dragging on it that'd do it. 2) The internal
clutch packs/bands are receiving conflicting demands,
and the thing is trying somehow to go into both forwards
