Thanks for all the replies. I am trying to minimize the complexity of the engine in any way I can. Can I ask a couple more sensor questions in this thread?

I'll post some pics to make it easier. Decribing them is a little tough. I should probably add, that this engine is being mated to a Toyota manual transmission in a base model truck, so I'm trying to get rid of all auto-trans related items no longer needed. Every sensor, vacuum line, switch, linkage, etc. that isn't required is going to go. I went thru the Haynes manual, and can't find the answers on my own.

I hope I don't offend the Mercedes purists with this swap. There was nothing left of the 1983 300TD when I bought the engine, so no car was sacrificed for this project. It was rusted away, and hit in the rear.

Pics soon (if you're still willing to help me)

Shoot.

We will need pictures before we answer any more questions though.

Did you make your own adaptor plate?
