'76 450SLC - can someone tell me precisely where the engine serial number is located. The manuals all generalize (left side of engine block at the rear.) Extremely limited visibility in that area but I have cleaned what I can with a stainless toothbrush, solvent, and compressed air without success. Surely someone has found theirs and can help with a more detailed description of where to clean things up so I can read the number.

It's not on the left side toward the rear -- it's on the rear toward the left side. You'll need a mirror to read it since it faces the firewall.

I just realized you're the guy who wanted to argue about distributer caps, rather than take the word of someone who's been selling Mercedes parts since your car was brand new. I'm sure you won't believe what I told you here either...
