617 Turbo Diesel Injector Part Numbers/Interchangability
I have 5 each of these injectors:
KCA30S46
KCA30S35/4
KCA30SD27/4 (this one had a plastic cover with the number NA32X on it)
Are they interchangeable?
Will the same nozzles work in all?
The cars in question are a 82 300TD Turbo and a 84 300D Turbo. I want to rebuild the injectors and want to make sure these housings can work with the nozzles for the cars. Thank you

'79 300TD Lift Gate Strut(s) Replacement
I'm assuming that in order to replace lift gate struts, the molded plastic headliner piece must be removed. I have re-
moved the six small screws and the rear interior overhead light fixture but the headliner piece remains firmly
attached. What don't I know now? Thanks in advance for your help.

1983 300D electronic speedometer conversion?
I replaced a failing differential in a 1983 300D which had a 3.07/1 final drive ratio with a w126 differential with a 2.47/1 final drive ratio. RUNS GREAT!!! Of course, what the tranny-driven mechanical speedometer-odometer now registers is about 80% of what the actual speed and mileage are. I would like the instruments to reflect actual speed and mileage.
In the original vehicle, an electrical speed sensing unit on the differential connects to the instrument cluster.

1985 300D center flap actuator removal
I believe that the vacuum actuator for the center flaps needs replacement. Unfortunately, it looks like it's a real difficult part to remove. I'm wondering if you've ever had to pull and replace this? If yes, how did you do it? And ::fingers crossed:: were you able to do it without removing the dash?

1985 3000TD Bypass the Coolant Heat Exchanger?
When running diesel fuel should the coolant heat exchanger be by-passed with valving so the diesel fuel is not heated? My current setup heats fuel to 140 - 150F at the IP when looped mode is not used.
