Yeah, I had a senior MB service tech look at it. BTW, he works his own shop now and refuses to work for a dealership service department. Anyway, he looked at it and immediately said, your engine has been replaced at some point. He pointed to the sticker on the front of the valve cover and said that the '77s didn't have that sticker on the valve cover from the factory.
