'72' Mercedes 280SEL 4.5

Post by TZ_BENZ »

Well, I finally got the opportunity to turn the key this weekend for the first time. Started on the first crank. Idles with no surging at about 900 RPM. No smoke.

It is a euro 4.5 liter mercedes OHC engine. Using MS3X controlling 8xLS2 coils in wasted spark. EV6 injectors. new TPS switch from Bosch. Jeep 4.0L IAC valve on a custom made air box which incorporates the original crankcase ventilation. 36-1 wheel on the crank pulley.

Very little hesitation from idle. No hesitation on the road. Idles great. Just need to tune her better.
