How one Pagoda turned into four..

More progress.

If a car goes for 1 mile, it will probably go for 10

If a car goes for 10 miles, it will probably go for 100

If a car goes for 100, it will probably go for 1000.

I put in a nice 40 mile drive today, so should be good for 400.  That won't quite get me to PUB 2015, but is a good start.

I still have some mixture problems, in particular at light load around 2000 rpm it's running really lean with an AFR of 150-16.  Under heavy load it's fine.  It also doesn't down shift from 4 to 3 under load.  Gotta pause fro a few days to tend to other projects, but should be back on the case mid next week.

Another car emerges from the heap.  This is the '64 230SL, #1946 so an early one, and #200 with an automatic transmission.  After a lot of work it's mechanically pretty sound, but I don't have enough confidence in it to drive to PUB, so it will get a ride in my trailer and just get driven locally in Ohio.  The car has had a variety of work done on it over the years, most of it poorly done, but for a car that has been sitting for nearly 30 years and never restored, it's actually in pretty good shape.  Just remain 20' away and don't put on your glasses

Looks pretty good to me Peter ... Then photos don't  always tell all.

Have a safe trip!
