I don't have to explain AZ. 117 Friday, 115 yesterday. Today should be
about the same. Ugh.
I'm tired of these summers. I have to start thinking about where I want to
spend summers when I retire.

But it’s a dry heat, right?
Better than Floridia, where the dew point often exceeds the temperature
(meaning it’s frighteningly humid.)
I can tell how humid a day it is when I wake up by seeing how much condensation
is on my sliding doors.

Yes, the W116 280S is one of the LEAST desirable Mercedes ever built.

What? Mercedes made a "sorry" engine??? A carbureted engine should be
relatively easy to modify, remove the smog controls, get the power back,
etc. Install a couple of Webers, or a Holley . . .
Of course, replacing the engine with an OM603 would be best!

That 4 barrel Solex is a junker. Even Solex couldn't make it work on
a Benz engine, they were dogs from A to Z. Nothing desireable in any
way, shape or form.
Many were convered to D-jet or K-Jet, vastly easier and much more
reliable.
Fuel milage was terrible -- the small sedan got 12, t
The Zeniths were a pleasure to work with compared to the Solex 4A1. It is a
nightmare of a carburetor, guaranteed to run poorly even when working at it’s
best, and offering really lousy fuel economy.
The M130 in the former W123 LWB had one. I tore it off and did a Holley 5200
conversion. Mad
A Holley of any sort would be an improvement. My buddy Hans had to
deal with them all the time in Germany, said they were horrible, even
the factory tech couldn't get them right.
The M110 wasn't bad itself, other than being rather fuel hungry and
terribly noisy due to solid lifters. More
Wonder what is involved in converting a 110 to fuel injected? Not that I would
want to. I do have a injected 110 sitting on the shelf in the shop

Intake manifold and associated FI parts. I'd not bother with the D-
Jet, impossible to find parts by now and that one requires the correct
distributor, probably like finding hen's teeth forty years after they
stopped production.

Folding-fin rockets are notoriously inaccurate. Unless all fins deploy at
precisely the same time (yeah, right) the non-symmetrical initial fin
configuration will steer the rocket off course. Definitely the wrong weapon

But, if any moisture comes up through it, ya want it to escape and evaporate
immediately, instead of accumulating under impervious paint. Isn't that the
reason he decided to use indoor/outdoor carpet?

Yes, it would disrupt the ecological cycle of mold growth in the carpet to
close off it's water supply by sealing the concrete.
Pretty sure that's how it happens in the humid NorthEast... ;))

Imagine if it were a manned, armed MiG taking evasive action on its way to

That's what those
I think all current fighters have both guns and missiles? I know the F/A-18
has both.
F-4 Phantom was another "missiles only" fighter, and I think engagements in Mig
alley convinced fighter designers that missiles are nice, but guns are required.
