Timing info for 280slc euro
Brought a 1978 280slc back from Germany. Needs a tuneup bad. Can you tell me where to get the specs on this thing? What models have crossover parts, engine/body. Numbers off the badge:
Fahrgestell-Nr - 107022 17 004799 inline 6 cyl. Also, son hit a dog (big dog) the other day. Broke the left headlight lens. I pulled the headlight assembly out but can't figure out how to get the bulb out.

You basically have a US 280E/CE engine. Most of the body pieces are the same as the 450/380 SL, except for the heater and vent controls.
Ron at germanstar.net can help you with tune-up parts. I don't have my CD with me to give you the timing specs, but I think it's something like 8 BTDC with vacuum at idle. If you try a Search, you will probably find a couple of posts.

Its an automatic. Except for the usual rocker rust its in great shape, only120,000 Kilometers. The interior is in A-1 shape. I haven't done any work to it.
