79 300sd 0-60

Latest low $ tweaking yields 0-60 in 16.5 seconds (average of 5 runs) @ 50*F & 50% WVO. Some blue smoke at full throtle take offs assumed from the WVO, you can just see it in the outside rear mirror. Lube oil comsumption =s 1 qt in 1500 miles while driven with Itialian tune ups. Blow by is reasonable.
Having a mid 80's 240D manual trany in cherry condition move into my small town has done wonders to my wrenching time. I may have rust but I can beat a Kia!
Now on to the climate uncontrol issues.
