Gordon, can you explain what you mean by " changed to green dot sprockets to get better torque."
Inquisitive minds and such.

Oh, adjustable pulleys to alter the lobe centers.
We could do with those for the EG33.
Thanks.

Harvey.

Re: My Mercedes SL Story

Well my update is this: I sold the car almost 2 years ago. I actually sold it to somebody in Germany, so it went home! It was a great car, and I often regret selling it.

One day I intend on getting another. My main and only issue with it was that I'm fairly tall, and my knees bumped into the dash, even with the seat all the way back.

Otherwise, they're great cars! Avoid 1992-1995 models as they have issues with the insulation on the wiring under the hood disintegrating and falling off.
