If you did something really stupid, like try to start the engine with the timing lock in place, you would be in trouble with either my copper tube or the factory lock.


For a throttle cable, I went out in the woods and found a W124. I pulled the hood latch cable and the end of the throttle cable. The end of the throttle cable has a provision for adjusting the length so you can adjust the "at rest" point of the cable. I attached the hood latch end of the cable to the throttle arm on the IP. I installed the adjustable end of the throttle cable in the fire wall. I attached the cable end to one of the arms that is activated by the foot throttle in the brake booster area. It took me about an hour from harvesting parts to having a working throttle. The only thing I lost is the cruise control.
