    Yeah, the one I linked to is the real thing, I saw knockoffs but I'm not going to link to them.

    IDI return line caps - aluminum 6061!

    I found this, I think it's the right link? Looks as if there are Chinese knockoffs now, too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/357948135660?itmmeta=01KPRCKH9RD8P3B77QGVEA2Z9T&hash=item53575f18ec:g:b9QAAOSwcxZoDXic

    7.3idi swap

    I had a couple of Sixties C60s, the second had the two speed rear end. Don't try to shift it when it's cold!

    6.9 E350 C6 to E4OD or 4R100?

    I have a usshift controller on my vanbulance. It's way better than stock for understanding what's going on in the trans. Pretty happy with it.

    Rock Auto or pelicanparts.com or mercedessource.com, I've been able to find most stuff for my '84 w123 without resorting to ebay.

    7.3 IDI Tachometer

    Yes, I'd start by checking the wiring from the tach pick up on the IP gear housing, then change that pickup. Maybe, first check your grounds.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Mine is a standard civilian ambulance, loads of outside storage which intrudes on the inside. We use it for overnight road trips, and for grocery runs, so that works for us.

    Yes, dualies, and a big box that's not very tall.

    IDI E Fuel pump Info

    I've been running a Walbro FRB-13 for a while in the old brown truck. The truck died recently, and I've been waiting for warmer weather to mess with it. I have assumed the pump is still working, I can hear it clicking, at least.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Praying for you. If you do decide to move farther north, ping me. Interior Alaska is a great place to raise kids.

    Looking at picking up a spare IP?

    Yes, I think Wes' pumps are the way to go.

    Moving to Alaska, Jesus Freak? It's mighty nice up here three months out of 12.

    1965 Mercedes-Benz 190Dc Fintail Diesel Project

    I like that. My aunt had a green Mercedes of that vintage, back when they were new. I have a soft spot in my head for them, but haven't found one of that era yet. Probably just as well, I have way too many projects as it is. Congratulations on a really nice find!

    Cooling liquid specification?

    Here's an SDS for the Napakool additive. https://media.napaonline.com/is/content/GenuinePartsCompany/1501248pdf

    Cooling liquid specification?

    Bart, I use Napakool additive in Napa green coolant. I'll try to get you part numbers this evening. You might not be able to get that stuff over there, but reading the info on it might help you figure out what you're looking for.

    Got a strange problem with my starter

    I left a trickle charger on it all week, and when I went to start it there was no problem. I need to work on other things, so I'm going to hope that the batteries just had a surface charge before, and a deep charge fixed it.

    Got a strange problem with my starter

    Here's a picture. It's inline, long, reaches almost to the motor mount. Pretty sure it's direct drive. Other vehicles usurped its place in the shop this weekend, I'll try to get it in there Friday.

    Got a strange problem with my starter

    I've used their cleaner and contact enhancer on electronics before, never thought of using it on power stuff, but I'm sure it would work.

    Got a strange problem with my starter

    We don't do salt up here much, but I'll definitely try cleaning it down to bare metal, no downside to that. Thanks.

    I HAVE AN UPDATE!!

    I have 9 pickups that could be good runners, plus a couple of parts trucks that aren't in the signature. That's several years of projects right there. Probably going to tell management if they don't change their ways I'm leaving in July.

    Battery relocation.

    That looks a lot like the long, narrow battery in my old Mercedes.

    I HAVE AN UPDATE!!

    Eh, I'd be able to buy a few parts, probably be able to buy'em almost as fast as I could install them.
