I have a 77 240D all manual, I had this car for about 26 years and love it.

But.

If I had to do it again I would start at 81 and up. The single major improvement is the A/C compressor, on older 240D’s they installed York, it is a monster and it drains what little power that the engine can produce. York is a Chrysler product very durable but is designed for big V8 engines.
