Thanks for all the responses!

My other RWD cars always specified higher pressures in the front, so I suspect it has something to do
with rear suspension setup/geometry.
BTW, maybe 108s had bias-ply tires in '65 when they first came out, but I'd think a '72 came with radials.
My Fiats had radials since '68, so I'm sure an MB costing 3 times as much did too. I had set pressures at
33 front/36 rear, must have read your mind :-)

I will experiment adjusting the rod to the tranny, but now a more imediate need crept up: the left rear
caliper is sometimes dragging. I think it's a recent rebuilt, so I will remove the pads and excersise the
pistons some, hopefully that will cure it.

The turn signals do this in both directions, but I will double check everything anyways. Heck, I'm getting
used to it.

Tried charging the AC (has been converted to r134a and has all new hoses) and the compressor clutch started slipping.
I wonder if it's adjustable?
Also the condenser fan never came on, anyone know where it's relay is? I'd like to wire it so it's always on when the compressor is on.
Thanks,

Csaba
