A drunk lady backed into my 1987 300D 124 as it was parked in my
driveway damaged the bumper headlight & park light. I'll be needing
a bumper if anyone has one or spots one.

I began working early this morning before the sun came up and Tom came over to get the Hearse smogged , after a fun day of sweating and working , I replaced my turbo and air cleaner "T" bracket and adjusted the valves on;y to discover the damned thing still trails blue smoke .

I have replaced _FIVE_ air cleaner "T" brackets now , I'm not buying any more new ones ! this last was a re pop and the crappy spot welds simply let go ~ I considered having it welded until I noticed the 8MM hole on that lower leg , the really hard to reach one , was stress cracked too so out it went to scrap .

Now , I have to fix my injector pop tester and test all my injectors then check the timing of the injection pump , fiddle with or replace the rack damper bolt as it's a silver (old design) one , if still no joy I'll try an M Code IP and if the sonofa b*tch still trails blue smoke after that I'll go kill the guy who rebuilt my engine....

Did I mention how hot it was to-day ? . =8-)

BTW : The Caddy runs great but the AC is still dead in it .

Actually I have another car. Well, Okay, it's a truck. Still . . .
I have one spare IP from an NA engine. And how do I find out what the code is. Everything else is from turbo'd engines.
