golden drip tube that was held by the creator of mercedes himself that was used to time this car. But seirously WTF. Anyways, i recently did the timing on my 1981 240d with a aluminum baseball bat and a thirteen mm wrench. i agree though, 23 is abit retarded and would cause bad gas milage But it would start very easily. You can do this by yourself you know... just look it up on the search function.
