Thanks for the input, I did replace the rocker switch, but I have yet to listen closely to the motor. Maybe I'll take the above advise and be happy when it works.

Instead of buying a new booster hose, I installed a piece of 1/8" copper tubing and bored out the broken nipple with a 9/16" bit. It seems to work like a champ so far. I'm not sure if I should glue...

Thanks Andrew,
I saw that part in my search, but I never would have thought that was what I needed, I think I just skimmed over it. You've been a great help.

check out the svo/wvo sticky at the top of the page, it has a lot of valuable information in it. That should lead you in the right direction.

For what it's worth, I paid $2,500 for my '84 300D. It had 145,000 miles, but a bad A/C and cracked dash. I'm very happy with it, even though I have to install a new fuel primer on Friday. It all...

I just moved my MB out of the way so I could pull my truck out, and the Doc was right, my primer leaked like a sieve. Hopefully I can put the new primer on without any problems (but I doubt it)....

I will call around and see if I can find a fuel primer. I guess I'll have to go slummin' around in my Ford until I can get this fixed. Thanks again.

Rear Bumper rubber

My rubber is coming off my rear bumper on my 84 300D. Is it the heat that causes this? Any good tricks for attaching it back?

'84 300D oil pressure

I have just bought my first MB and I noticed on the way home my oil pressure gauge was maxed out at 3, but when it sits at idle, it drops down to 1-2. Is this normal?
