This time-warp, retro "classic" resides in DC. Fascinating window into the latest in early 80s technology and luxury. How many barrels of crude were sacrificed to craft so many aces of faux wood? http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1982-lincoln-continental/ I doubt this will crash through the $750

Just shorten the main outlet plenum a bit and stick it inbetween the fan inlet and the plenum, in a plac

If you just want to test the engine, unplug the switch wiring harness, jump the appropriate terminals for run, and temporarily jump the terminals for start. Mitch. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsub

Yes two different ones or there were, haven't looked it up in about a year now but last info I saw still had problems with cracking in the mount. That's why I figured that an MB original would be designed right and work without problems. Curley McLain via Mercedes wrote: Isn't there a conversi
