84 300D to 83 300D
I'm doing an engine swap from a 84 300D Calif. to a 83 300D Calif.
It appears that the 84 has the tach sensor on the injector pump where the 83 has it on the TDC transmitter. Will the tach work properly when I change the engine?

84 300D acceleration concern
I test drove 1984 300D with 240K miles showing. She cranked and idled for approx 15 minutes. The dealer alerted me of sluggish acceleration. This was an under statement. I got her on the road and she barely made second gear, so I floored it, engine rev'd higher, pedal to the metal produced maxed speed of 45MPH. Easying off the gas seemed to help shift gear. I ran out of road, brought her back and same thing. asked dealer if he had any ideal what was causing the problem? He says... Fuel filter or maybe the turbo is going/gone bad. Question...

92 300CE oil pressure loss
Oil pressure is normal when engine is started and warming up. Afterward the pressure reads very low during idle and normal city driving. No tapping is heard which indicates to me that oil is still circulating. What if anything should I do?

1980 300D Starter Removal
I'm having a heck of a time breaking loose the two bolts that hold the starter to the engine block (i.e., the two bolts that require an Allen wrench). They're in a very awkward place (especially the top one), and I don't have enough clearance to use a cheater bar. Any recommendations on how I can get them out?
Thanks!
