I think that for that kind of money, they could of laid out for a few more photos. I guess they did not need to, though, once they mentioned lovecrap. It gives any serious benzer the whole picture and it ain't pretty.

I would say the lovecraft system would detract value from your car. 15K for a 124 TD with even a good grease conversion is WAY high.

I bet somebody buys it

Some poor sucker who doesn't know about Lovecrap will show up and pony up 15 large for the car BECAUSE it has been converted. I wonder why the guy is selling it. Maybe the injection pump is going...

Does it matter? It'll be a boat anchor soon enough.
I emailed the seller and want to see what response I get.

I'm trying to cure my diesel addiction and so I had to sell it. Not cured so far. Its funny, but the care was starting to become an energy consumer, mine....

Next great idea of mine is pulling the 85 300TD drivetrain and sticking it into a 1977? 2WD Chevy Suburban.
