I just picked up a 1979 300sd turbo desel. It has a blown motor but I've already located a complete motor and am going to be putting it in myself.
What I'm wondering is where the good online resources for tech info on my car would be. I'm a good mechanic (mostly vw) and am excited to be learning a new German vehicle.
thanks for your help/ direction.

Welcome to the club!
Obviously, here at BenzWorld is one great resource.
Another, especially for diesels is the Diesel Forum over at Mercedesshop.com.
Factory Service Manulas (FSM) are available from various sellers, ebay included. Some exist in printed form but the CD manual is OK.
Good luck, keep us posted on your project.
Where are you located? Some forum members would probably like to stop by and lend a hand.
