North East corner of Huntington Drive and I dunno what , the Souplantataion is west right across the corner on the NW .

The sign says " Sea Food Buffet " but they have lots of different things there .

Lots of local Chinese eat there , Families relaxing , kids , young and old Folks....

Give it a try .

Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Junk Yard Fun

It's been hot in Los Angeles so Tom decided to finally allow me to replace the dead HVAC fan in his '87 W-126 300SDL .

We headed out to the local Junk Yards about 7:30AM , this first one had only _one_ W-126 in it , a gasser that some lowlife loser had owned and installed " TOTALLY JAMIN' BUMPIN' STEREO YO ! " using (of course) translucent wires way too big for the job and mangling the door cards , using mixed and unmatched sheet metal screws in the dashboard and door cards......
Not overly surprising it was junked in spite of low mileage and good overall condition .

The next yard had five or six W-126's in it , only one Diesel but all had HVAC fans , I removed them all and two were replacements , German made with good brush length and one was the original (yellow squirrel cage) one , also with good brushes , I took all of them to a junked battery and tested them , the two replacement and one good bushes original one all worked well , lots of torque and high speed , quietly , the other three were working but not worth anything IMO , Tom bought the three good ones and we hied off to a shady parking lot where I installed the best of the bunch , we enjoyed nice cool and dry air all the way to a Chinese Buffet place in Arcadia , later on he gave me one of the replacement fans to tinker with , see if I can use it in one of my W-123's .

I also got a bag full of hardware and a good tested overboost protection valve but managed to lose it somewhere between the Junk Yard and home [*#-o d'oh!] .

That's all for to - day , I think I'll go to Golden Cove to - morrow morning , they have a nice British Car Meet there once a month .

I will find a way to take both cars with me. She can buy a car up there if she wants to. I have all my tools and parts in the trunks of the cars. If I have 2 cars to myself, I can finally drive one while restoring the other one.

Second tank of HPR Bio Fuel stuff .

Intake screen is clear as can be ~ a tiny bit of residual dirt .

24 MPG , I'd hoped for better .

The engine starts easily and is noticeably smoother .

NO additives ! .
