Hey Hi Comp II, well one BIG mitigating factor is that I have an ally at the parts counter, two, er three actually. Comes with being a gen-u-wine gearhead and the fact that I never assumed the pretty blonde was a no -nothing...

Wiring harness, engine, 1995 E300 W124 Diesel, $ 214.00 out the door.

Plus, I promised the parts manager I'd help him build a big block Chevy to make 450 ft lbs for around $3500 or so. Reckon I'll be building that man a motor. No big shakes, he saved me $80 over internet prices and $200 over dealer on that one piece alone.

Nozzles are given as $51 a pop retail. Bet I get them for $22ea.




Hey man, I need a ray of sunshine (hope), as I tackle this grease motor enigma. The spirits of my ancestors are with me on this one... and I'll have one helluva ride when I'm done..... So I KNOW its a battle worth waging...

The struggle continues.....
