1981 300SD WOOD lodged near Alternator
Hey folks, first time posting, newbie mechanic, just bought a pair of these 1981 300sd turbo diesels, one a (previously) running parts car, the other hopefully a runner, my first cars in 4+ years, my first mercedes, and my first diesels. So, here's my problem.

transmission differences, 300Dt / TD / CD / SD (W123, W126)
I'm looking at cobbling together an engine and tranny, a car with a blown engine, and a car with a wasted tranny..
The problem is.. The car with the wasted tranny (300SD) is in Arizona.. The car with the wasted engine (300Dt) is in Missouri, and the available donor engine transmission is in Michigan..
..Oh, and I'm in Ohio, closest to the engine/tranny, but even that's 70 miles from me.

560sel ignition coil
Have a 1990 560sel with 127k miles. Want to start changing the oil myself via the dipstick. Other sites say that it's best to disconnect the ignition coil before cranking the engine over after the change. This prevents too much strain on the timing chain. Have a repair CD but the coil is not behind the EZL as shown on the diagram. Looking for the location of the coil. Thanks.

1984 300sd turbo diesel - black oil on injectors
Hi I ordered and received new nozzles today and it was a easy pleasant job replacing them. The old nozzles were in bad shape and very clogged up with black soot/mess. I thoroughly cleaned the injectors with break cleaner and installed the new Nozzles.

Ideal motor for WVO
I have a line on a 1987 300SDL with about 200,000 on it. Curious what the group's take is on this motor being a good citizen when it comes to accepting WVO as a primary fuel (for a dual tank set-up)
Thanks!
