I'm replacing the fuel rail on an 89 240 gl. I had a spare fuel rail but when I compared it to the one I took off I noticed the original one has no place for a fuel return line. Is this right or am I losing it finally?

Some month's ago I brought this guy's wagon back from the dead. He's not a turbo type so we stuck to OEM stuffs and the results were pretty good. This is the first 240 I'd seen in papa smurf blue and I love it. Then I picked this up as a flip. Smokin' deal but just nasty. Paint was tired...

85 244. Ignition switch gives power to everything but when turned to the start position it does not open/close the circuit and give power to the starter. The dash lights stay on even when the key is in the start position. I can't find my voltmeter so it's going to get the parts cannon but before...

I have a 88 760 parts car I've been tearing down and thought I was done but since I have time, I thought I'd ask some of you more knowledgable knuckle staggers what else I should snag off of I before it goes to the junker. I have already removed the turbo and intercooler...

So I'm working on something. I'd like not to discuss the details of it just yet but I'm in need of some info for research. What is the best cam (b230) wise for low end torque? What is the optimal back pressure for a b230f? Which stock transmission has the tallest highway gear? Which version...

Swapped in a fresh Aw71. Flushed the right way. Everything seems ok however it will ocassionally hang in gear and I can hear cavitation. Fluid is clean but once or twice I have checked the fluid level and it has bubbles. The level seems to be right and the kick down cable is adjusted properly...
