'71 W115 gas - amalgamated

I have so many questions about this car, and i thought it would be easiest to just get one thread going. Cuz i need the help!!

This weekend I thought I would tackle the brakes, pads and rotors. It was going fine until I got the front calipers off and realized that out of both front calipers on one piston was working! I worked and worked getting those pistons free and have three working good now, but I think one is still stuck. I think new calipers are on the shopping list now. Anyone have any suggestions?

The car runs smooth once it's warmed up, the carb definitely needs help, as you can see in the pics. I don't think that tape is factory

Sometimes while driving I get a pretty bad burning electrical smell in the cab, I don't see any smoke and I don't see any melted wires anywhere, under the dash, behind the center console, or under the hood. Any ideas?

Below is the pics, hope you like. She's not the prettiest but I love her! If you see anything interesting or unusual please let me know. I know very little about this car and about old MB's.\

Thanks!
