After how many years searching , I got the correct intake manifold for SWMBO's 1982 240D to - day , Tom and I went out to P-A-P early and he helped me remove it , it turns out the 1982 & 1983 California 240D's both have the same wierd intake manifold with flapper valve and *VASTLY*
improved rockerbox oil vapor recovery/separation system ~ it's *so* good , I may try to adapt it to my 300CD as the constant oil mist into the air cleaner drives me bonkers . (& wastes money) .
So , the rest of to - day for rest and to - morrow too , then Saturday I'll get back at it , I've already ordered in the gaskets , seals and rubber air cleaner mounts Et Al to do the job as soon as I clean it up (I can't go installing dirty & oily junkyard parts now , can I ?) and the new parts come in , I even ordered up the moulded rubber vent hoses
as I want this job to be _done_ and reflect the nicety of the rest of her car .
