89 300 SE no power
I've got an 89 300 SE that is an absolute slug when it is cold, and won't start when it is hot. Fuel pressure is within spec,and the coolant sensor is within range. I'm thinking the fuel accumulator is bad.Any help would be appreciated.

91 350SDL - are there Monarch nozzles available?
I have converted an 83 300TD and am quite happy with this car. I put Monarch nozzles in the injectors.
I have a 91 350SDL (118K) that I want to convert with a two tank system. I have it installed and checked out getting oil from the tank in the trunk where I have the WVO pump. No problems getting oil all the way through the system. The air has been pumped out.
I checked the WVO tank and made sure air could enter it as I pump WVO out of it.
I switch over when the oil is about 140 degrees and the engine soon starts chugging and then dies. If I switch back to diesel and crank for a bit, then I can restart the car.
Even if I switch over when the engine is warm and the car is just idling it is not very happy. (unlike my 300TD).

84 300SD rear subframe mount replacement estimate ??
Anyone ever have their rear subframe mounts and trailing arm bushings replaced or do it yourself? How long did it take? I'm getting a labor quote from an Indy shop tomorrow, not sure why they couldn't give me a range over the phone....
