Brown one got parted.  The old gray ghost (1979 300SD) is doing quite well, thank you very much!  '79 with head off the '80 and cam from an '85.  Was dealing with the black goo but think I'vev got it sorted.  Now on to vacuum issues…

Yeah, Stretch was seduced by a TDI Beetle, and sold off his two 123s.

Re: [diesel_mercedes] Diesel Fuel Prices

 

Around here, I've seen $3.94 down to $3.55.  I went to fill up yesterday, and just before I swiped my card, the owner came in and said, "If you can wait a couple of minutes, I'll save you 4-cents a gallon."  So, I waited while he reset the prices for the pumps, and paid $3.51.

They're all over the map these days , kinda - sorta reminds me of the  ' Gas Wars ' 40 + years ago when they'd put out a sandwich board declaring " TWO CENTS CHEAPER PER GALLON ! " across the street , all this and FULL SERVICE too ! =8-) .

I was out and about wth SWMBO the other day and spotted $3.77 / Gal. so naturally I stopped in for a tankful .

Got a new friend at the corner of Arrow & Towne in Pomona. Reason?  Diesel was at $3.89 yesterday. My old friend was at $4.23 down the corner from where I live. I like to be true to my old friends, but a 34 cent difference in pricing will sever all shaky relationships. And they are just down the street from my $1 car wash - so I am a happy camper.  ps to Nate, sorry I haven't got back to you on the parts you are interested in - I'll email you today.
