1981 300SD alternative air intake

Many of us with older turbodiesels are just plain tired of having to replace the air cleaner bracket, and especially the mounts that hold the air cleaner in place. I've found a possible alternative that COMPLETELY REPLACES THE ENGINE MOUNTED FILTER HOUSING AND BRACKET with a K&N filter on the end of an intake tube attached directly to the turbo inlet.

The rules prevent me from including a link to another website, but I suppose the rules do not prevent stating the other source. It's Wade Performance Products.

1983 300SD Sunroof for 126

The sunroof has worked just fine for the 5 years I've owned my 300SD, but two days ago the sunroof began to malfunction. It opens just fine, but now when it closes, the rear portion no longer jumps back up to make a flush seal with the roof.

Some other boards suggested that a plastic guide channel or rail may be damaged, but I don't know as of yet.

Please help!

Install angle of the Stanadyne filter

I am going to install the stanadyne filter for my SVO/WVO single tank conversion but I was wondering what is the best angle to install it. I was thinking one or two ways 1)Lying along side the wheel well in the engine compartment or get it up in 90 degree angle with some sort of bracket? Laying along the top of the wheel well at an angle will that cause some air to get into the system or will the primer take care of that once the system is full of fuel?
