'86 190e turn single flasher, relay or switch problem?

Hi, My turn singles have quit working. I replaced the four-way flasher on the console and what I understood to be the flasher as well but no fix. The four ways work fine. Is there another relay I should be looking for or perhaps the turn single switch at the column is the problem? Thanks for your suggestions. Bill

1977 300D Loss of power while going uphill

I've heard that 77 300D is not a strong car to begin with, but mine actually slows down and barely makes it up the standard Washington state hills. At the bottom of a hill I could be going 40mph, and by the time I get to the top it slows down to as slow as 25mph!! So far I replaced both fuel filters, air filter, checked compression, compression is right about 330 PSI in all 5 cylinders, which as I understand is pretty good for this engine (or is it?). What else should I check or do to fix this? Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Roman
