On this 1980 300sd I have a square fuel tank that is bolted to the sides. Thers is no fuel sensor on the top of the tank. I can see all the way into the back and there is no sending unit. Where is the sending unit on these early 116 300sd's?
My stock tire size is 195/70 14 ~ 24.75 inch diameter. I was considering moving up to 205/75 14 ~ 26.1 inch diameter or 215/70 14 ~ 25.9. This would, in essence, give me the effect of an overall higher read end ratio. It feels as if the engine is revving more than it should at 65 - 70mph. Is this advisable? Also, what should the expected mile-per-gallon be for this year/model assuming everything is running correctly, and a conservative driving style? Thx, Bill
I'm perhaps exposing my ignorance, but where is the fuel prefilter on my engine? The picture included with the filter kit doesn't help me, as I can't locate just where that refers to. I suppose it's possible that the prefilter was removed at some time.
Since I plan to replace the gunked-up filter in the tank, I'd like to have a good prefilter in place to catch whatever I stir up in the process.

Has anyone converted a 1980 300sd with the MS kit. I have done my 1984 300sd and just purchased a 80 300sd and the engine compartment is way different. I am refering to the physical layout specifically. Thank you.
I have a 1989 560 SL it has started to idle slightly high and rough does anyone have a idea what this could be ?
It seems I am going one step forward one step backward. Modulator was replaced on tranny. Car still shifts on the positive side but much smoother. But in the process I lost the kick down. Also when I come to a stop there is a noticeable clunk with the final downshift to first.
I don't know where to start troubleshooting.

Just got my MS vaccuum kit the other day... 2nd issue to diagnose (after my door vaccuum leaks this weekend) is the ventilation system. Very odd behavior...
