i could lie and say it is a 79, sorry.

i have a 1980 250t (euro car now in canada). i am looking for air and oil filters for this vehicle's engine but t am not having any luck because this car was never sold in north america. my parts guy can not find any listing for it. is there another car that uses these filters? i think a 72 250c air filter might work but i am not so sure about the oil filter. any help would be greatly appreciated.

this machine burns a lot of gas under normal driving, i did notice the fuel pressure regulator is not connected to the vacume port c on the carb because it is blocked off and full of gas (i guess it is broken) . is there anything obvious i should be looking to adjust to get better mileage?

thanks
