ha! it left me stranded in a CVS parking lot. worst part was i didn't wanna turn the car off b/c i felt it going out.

i actually pulled the whole column down and cut off the whole ignition just before the column. then pulled the shaft out and pushed in the release pin to slide the rest of the ign out.

then i went and pulled another perfect one out the junk yard.

funny thin is my buddies locked up the day before.

works like a charm now!

83 300D - Money in pocket, can't beat that.

Paid $700 304K 2 years ago. Now 330K. Original paintwork. Money spent on fixes and consumables:

1) New pads front and back $50
2) Self design WVO heater kit with water diesel separator $160
3) Keyless remote control $40
4) All new belts $40
5) 2 cans of R134a $15
6) 1 injector from a junk yard $2
7) Misc wvo filtering equipment $150

Run perfectly, no blow-by. Everything works as they should be, including cruise control.

26K trouble free WVO miles. I am money in pocket on this car even if it craps out tomorrow, very unlikely but anything is possible .
