We don't have emission testing here, as long as the car is titled legally it'll get plates.

As far as the SLS pump, I take it that the gas motor pump won't work? Is this a show-stopper if I had to buy it new? Will the ignition switch from the '87 300D work on a TE? All other vacuum components should be the same shouldn't they?

Since a gas 300TE can be had cheap, and '87 300TDs are pretty hard to find/buy, seems that a thou or so in the conversion isn't out-of-line provided that resale isn't a consideration. Plus, I can find a nicely equipped TE with the later body cladding and bun-warmers.

Now finding a TE which isn't white/blue (dealer service cars) is a little more difficult.

Where is the best place to market my current diesel? Fleabay?
