Thanks for the various links. Some I already had and some I need to go through. Maybe several reads will bring a "that's it!" out of all of it. I have tried a few of these but so far I am flummoxed as to what is going on. I just may have to give Roy a call as well.
To RRGrassi....hey, Texas is not that far....and yes it is a wagon. I flew down to Houston to pick up the 86 300SDL!!

Anyway, if I find no reasonable solution, I may just sell it.
Adsit pay the shipping??? I am not holding my breath!
Thanks, Frank
