This car was being sold out of Houston ,correct ? Thats a good deal for a running car ,not to mention a wagon ,did you get the coil spring compressor he was also selling w/ the car?

Yes, it was near Houston. I wish I had known he had a spring compressor for sale! I just bought one a week ago....
ALL my linkage is good. I know exactly what you are talking about with the ball type thing on the firewall. Had that problem with my first 300D. Caused big problems like you said.
I looked at the fuel prefilter, after about 30 miles of driving it is already chock full of crud. The original filter was extremely dirty, but I thought it was mainly just old. The tank is an issue that will have to be addressed. Might solve a goodly number of my problems if I had free fuel flow, like Barry mentioned earlier.
