'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...

  3. OT: Has Electric Vehicles made you rethink about purchasing a ICE vehicle?

    R/C107 SL/SLC Class
    Has the onset of Electric Vehicles (EV) made you rethink about purchasing an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicle? I'll admit, I am reluctant to purchase a new ICE vehicle but would still purchase a used discounted ICE vehicle. Some forecasters are predicting "Auto Armageddon" for the Auto...

  5. Cam/Crank sprocket teeth... timing angles and other thoughts

    R/C107 SL/SLC Class
    Hello all, been in the garage today, to finally begin the timing chain job and I must admit I prepared for much worse. Fairly Straight forward job. Tedious in some instances. Replaced only the chain so far in few hours I had available and dodged a bullet when the head end of the new chain fell...

  6. R/C107 4.5L V8 Custom Intake?

    R/C107 SL/SLC Class
    My 1972 350SL with the 4.5L V8 has a bent up intake manifold. I was wondering if anyone had fabricated a custom intake with tubing and cone filter in the fender area to sort of function as a cold air intake?
