A huge thanks to the collective wisdom on this forum that enables a rookie to get 95% of the way through this project. We have swapped a 300DT into a 240D chassis. If interested, read below to see what has been done to date. But I need help with some final issues:

FINAL QUESTIONS:

1. The clear line that runs from the rear of the manifold to the top of the IP and then to some type of switch on the firewall. What does one do as the 240 chassis had no provision. Is this the overboost sensor? And if so, I can swap it to the new chassis but I don't have the plug in cord???

2. Will the line running to the clutch master cylinder automatically fill with fluid as I bleed the brake lines?

3. The bowden cable setup is different. There appears to be one from the 240 chassis, but its out of place, etc. Any help here?

4. Since I didn't mess with the IP, I should have no worry in attempting to start the beast right? I'm going to drain the fuel and work with fresh stuff anyway.

DONE TO DATE:
1. Swapped engine
2. Mated engine with 4 speed manual tranny
3. Pilot bearing
4. Modified transmission crossmember support bracket
5. Calipers, hoses, pads
6. Had the axle shafts and differential torn apart to inspect
7. Replaced driveshaft with shorter one from euro parts car
8. Reduced 3 transmission linkage rods by 4" and reinstalled
9. Exhaust from 300 moved to 240 chassis
10. Shroud from 300 moved
11. Oil cooler
12. Radiator
13. Modified coolant resevoir and installed in 240 chassis
14. New belts
15. Diff fluid, tranny fluid, oil, coolant, ps fluid

Thanks again to the forum

Don
