On the 5 yard line with the '79 300SD redo as mentioned Sunday. A few issues have popped up and I'm in need of a helping hand.
1. Exhaust. What is the (*&^%$# trick to hang the exhaust back on the turbo. Dear God...I may lose a finger on this one. Not having a lift is making matters worse. Do I need to mount it to the turbo first then shore up underneath at the trans tunnel support or set it first on the support then try to wiggle it up? Also, is it easier/preferred to hook up the mounting clamp and the connector to the turbo or to the exhaust?
2. On the W116 SD, in addition to the regular fuse panel, there are two fuse links (wires with glass fuses inside them). One is a 2amp, the other 5amp with the former being for the Automatic Climate Control (ACC) amplifier and the latter being for the Aux Water Pump. Finding the fuses has been the Magical Mystery Tour. My question is which is the 2amp and which the 5amp. One has Red w/green stripe on the wire, the other red w/yellow stripe. No, the fuses are not in there now :-)
3. Hooked the battery up for the first time last night and for some readon the glow plug light stuck on, never went off. Did not do that before the project. Not sure WTF is going on there.
