Cams to be used in 1979 300D

I currently own a 1979 300D which has a "worn and scorn" cam. The rocker arms near the front are worn also. This engine has the "00" cam installed. I was given a newer cam and rockers by a friends dad. It is the "05" cam which is the newer "hardened" cam with higher lift. Can this cam and rockers be used in my 300D with engine: 617.912 1207. Too the newer cam has the MB Emblem stamped in it along with the 617 05 between the number 3 and 4 cam lobes. Help someone......Kent?

83 300D turbo which axle do i have

I am replacing the axles on my 300D the CV joint went out after the boot started leaking. When I go to order the new axles it gives me a choice of an Annular Joint or a Homokinetic Joint. The pictures that they supply on the web don't look any different and neither looks like the ones I have. Mine have the cans around the ends Like the boot kit sold here. How do I tell which axle I have Pat

AUTO to MANUAL conversion

HI !!! TO ALL ON THIS FORUM (MAY 30TH, 2007) I just registered 3-4 days ago on this web site. Here is a question that might sound a bit "crazy" ? I just love MANUAL transmissions and vast majority of MBZ sold in USA were AUTO. Has anyone attempted to pair up ANY manual tranny(MBZ or other - 4,5,6 speed) with the 5 cyl 3 litre turbo engine??? If not done personaly... maybe read/heard about it on web. Would very much appreciate ANY info you could share on this. Note: Done this many years ago on on Renault Alliance.

Tricky Rust repair job - rear glass

I have an 82 240D and I take as much care of it as I can. I have that miracle paint and fiber glass rust repair kit so I even try to fix the rust where I can. However, there is a spot of rust coming out from under the rubber weather stripping on the rear windshield. Capillary action has draw watter all along the seal so now there is a huge line of rust along the metal where the rubber seal on the rear wind shield meets the metal. I'd like to try to fix this rust myself but I don't want to start something if I can't finish it.
