I can hardly wait to tell my co-worker about the name you've given your 240..., she'll be honored, I think... :) If it weren't for money, you'd be piloting my "new" fsj to seattle...

The IMPCO catalog has become the supplement to the Haynes! The component blowups are great. If you've ever looked at the microfiche slides at the dealer, they look like the IMPCO catalog. I really should order something from them, just to say thank you! Jon ------------------------------ End of diesel-benz-digest V1 #54 ********************************
