Hey Sam, I appreciate your conern but I remembered that I had another older relay out in the parts shed, just went out and checked. Lo and behold, it has a good fuse in it, so I am golden. I will put the fuse in the '85 and drive that until the parts are assembled and then do the whole job on the '84 in one shot.

Am about to place an order for a few more strip fuses, a new set of glow plugs for the '84, and enough oil filters to make up an order (with the mileage I put on the MB's I change oil about every 3rd weekend, I can always use filters). If Phil has such an animal I will also get a new glow plug wire harness, just hate to do something halfway and then do it again when I can least afford the time (which is generally when something craps out).

Thanks again,
Jim
