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
