Nate, somebody had already removed the valve cover and set it aside. They had left the throttle linkages ontop of the engine bay.
I was eyeballing them but since the set up is not same for my car I did not bother.
It would be a crap shoot to expect that it is there.

Even if I were to jet over, a 45 minute drive, there is a good chance that the parts are tossed over somewhere or maybe the one piece you need is already gone...or tossed inside another car. You know how stupid some people can be tearing into cars. There was an Audi radiator and bumper under that 240D !!

Tough call.
I wish somebody who lives in the East Bay could help you.
I am on the west side of the bay bridge!!

Thumbs up Helping Hands

I can dig it ~

I've received much help here from others, not the least of which is the low mileage graymarket 1984 300TD I was hipped to, it wasn't close but I managed to get it home .

I have to ask, there are not scads of these two years W123 240D's left ......

I have helped many here and some mentioned they'd maybe help me with this hard to find useless part .

If it is just the vertical rod maybe you can fabricate it... some brass rod thread or??

Best.

I might go to the East Bay next Wednesday.. No promises... I might be able to swing by pik n pull.. crap shoot..

Hope some East Bay folks can step up.
Monday is a Holiday!!

I went back to this Oakland pick n pull and visited the 1983 240D.

It has been picked but one map pocket is complete and v good.
Rear seat bench, and some doors and good trunk lid.
kind of ivory color.

I grabbed the stering box.
It looked good and if the odometr was correct, low miles.. maybe that is why the front seats went immediately!

I was tempted by the rear CV half axles.

They are annular type.
They might be after market but the rubber is in excellent condition and the shiny silver hubs are good with surface oxidation on the outer hub halves.

Very tempting but I had my hands full with the steering box..

Some one ought to grab these cv axles..

car will probably be moved in another 2-3 weeks

Thumbs up Annular Drive Axles @ P-A-P

Anyone who doesn't have these should go grab them A.S.A.P., they're dirt cheap and dead easy to open up and re grease making them the cheapest alternative .

Don't for get the inner drive flanges ! .

M-B still sells the kits to re boot and re grease these, not overly $pendy .
