I hope you can too Tyler. Life is good when you have the right partner.

Thanks. It does seem to be the season for collecting. Now I just need to start looking for two 240D manuals for the kids. I have some time to find them though.

Why convert it to federal if it is working properly as it is? Is there any advantage once the trap-ox is gone to undo the rest of the CA-setup?

It is running fine as is, BUT my FED wagon seems like a race car compared to it. I've read that the CA setup reduces airflow and fuel mileage. I'm not concerned with doing it right away. Even if it doesn't change the performance, I'd like to do it just to go through the experience.

The wife likes the bundts. It has newer tires too. So we'll wait to do anything with those. Maybe if I can find wheels like yours for the wagon, I'll move my current ones to the CD.

First thing is to work on the trans and get it shifting as nice as my wagon.

She's a beaut, Chad, congrats! :envy:

I hope to be so lucky with a CD in the not-too-distant future.

I'm muttering all kinds of foul words under my breath. Some have to do with whose idea it was to have so many kids.

Thanks Swamp.

It seems that once the MB obsession completely takes root, you're bound to come across a deal eventually.

Finding a deal on a classic MB is like finding a woman ... they seem to be everywhere when you're not in the market for one.

In my earlier post Chad I forgot to give you my kudos on such a nice CD. Love the unique color, and an interior looks awesome!
I might be coming around on CD's.........
