Hi everyone. I'm an enthusiastic new member who just purchased my first Mercedes diesel yesterday, 1974 240d, 4 spd. manual transmission. It's pretty darn nice. Hoping to pick up new fuel lines and a supply of fuel filters this weekend so I can start running B100.

My only other diesel experience is that I have a 1953 Massey-Ferguson 35 tractor, also pretty darn nice. And I've had other old cars, just not diesel.

I live in Seattle (N. end, Phinney Ridge) and I'd like to form a relationship with a good mechanic and parts supplier sooner as opposed to later, and I was wondering if anyone had recommendations.

Thanks!
