RE: Block Heater.
Both your cars should already have one. About the middle of the engine under the exhaust manifold.

RE: Block Heater.
So does anyone know if the plug from the 87 300D is the same as the 87 190D? Because the 190D plug is is $45 and the 300D one is $15?

RE: Block Heater.
If the part numbers are different, I'd say the cords are different.

I can be wrong, don't take everything I say as verbatim, please fact-check first.

RE: Block Heater.
Hence if the parts are different, it's different.

It's the price of owning one of these cars.

Call up Rusty at buymbparts.biz if you really want to scratch the itch and see, he'd know better than most.

Good luck!
