Call them what you want I suppose but I can think of another name to call them if I have to shell out $11. bucks each!!!!

Where did Ted, down there in Maryland, find them for a buck each? Most MB parts up here on the Cape I buy have to come from our only MB dealer and they gouge deep! Somebody mentioned being able to buy the same Bosch injectors at NAPA!

I'll check tomorrow at NAPA and see what's available.

BobK RE: question about interior color and interest in parts from my departing SDL. To give you just a brief history...I bought the car back in early April mainly because it had a decent running engine, transmission, etc., and no cracked head!

I believe the car was never ever cleaned inside and the previous owner used to spit little pieces of tobacco all over the dash, and steering wheel!!! "Gross" dose not begin to describe it! The drivers seat is broken and bent! The back seat area he must have used as a utility bed for probably anything and everything. There was potting soil under the back seat. The headliner is poked through in many places. It's a shame that this car took so much abuse and it left me to wonder what kind of care the engine and transmission had received but I was assured that in spite of the overall abuse, the old man did have it serviced regularly at the MB dealer here on Cape Cod, where he bought it new!

I've already made arrangements for the cars final resting place with a fellow who wants a parts car and he will haul it away as soon as I get the engine and tranny out, this weekend I hope? I drove this car since April this year and as dirty and beat-up as it is, it still drives and feels like an MB should. I even thought about keeping it but my girlfriend told me she'd never ride in it, and I though, hmmmm maybe I ought to keep it!

I'll ask the guy who is taking the car if he has any plans for using interior parts, and by the way, the interior color is basically gray and black and the wood has ultraviolet damage and is cracked and broken in several places too. My guess is that there isn't much that is good....
