75 300D Oil Filter
Just replaced the oil filter DIY first time. I didn't see where one of the small pressure washers should be installed. Also, how do you replace the pressure washer between the bolt and the filter housing? Thanks.

'76 300D No start
Have the glow relay manual override installed. Last week I pressed the button, got glow for a few seconds, then a fast clicking. Was able to start the car. Now I get fast clicking & no start.
Battery tests fine. Tried powering the starter directly by jumping to the solenoid but I only get a click.
Not sure how to troubleshoot from here. Any tips would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Nicole
