Abner,

Not me. I have always lived in south Arkansas. Went to school at SAU Magnolia.

Back to 116 Mecedes:

WANT '71 280SEL,

I did the recirulate mod on both my 116 cars to have 100% recirulate only when the compressor is on. This should help some.
I didn't do a before and after so I can't say exactly how much it helps.

Here is what you do:

Remove the rh lower panel then the air duct. Look for a pink vacuum pod. It will be the outer most pot next the kick panel.

Remove the vacuum line and plug it. This will keep that pod from keeping the flap open to 20% fresh.
