This is such a big problem on the early 1977 to 1979 123 300D, 300CD and 300TD diesels that I decided a good replacement kit was in order. Often I find the main feed wire loose or frayed, the fuse box cracked or melted, and the fuse connector points corroded or loose.

Why do you need to do this? Valve clearances are supposed to be adjusted on these early V8s every 10,000 miles. You can imagine why this does not get done! Add to the fact owners can not find the right information or tools and it makes neglect even worse Why not on later model years?
Fits 115 and 123 Chassis 300D, 300CD and 300TD with 5 cylinder NON-turbo engines from 1976 up to 1981. If your 5 cylinder diesel has more than 200,000 miles on it without any major work, it most likely needs new valve stem seals.
