I'm currently working on putting a OM617 turbo into a '79 300CD. The throttle set up is completely different from any other one I have seen.
Is anyone familiar with this set up and have suggestions on getting it t work with an engine/throttle set up from a 300SD?

Its not unlike the setup from my w108. What's the problem? All you need it to do is to pull the throttle lever on the pump somehow, right?

1992 W201 190D 2.0L and 1971 W108 280SE with OM606, electronic pump and 6 speed manual gearbox.

Looks exactly like mine w114 and I'm pretty sure the w123 petrol has the same setup

Early style linkage, yes. Completely retarded - no wonder they replaced it later Big Grin You need that bearing/bracket thingy on the firewall to change for the later style, can grab it at a pick'n'pull maybe. Needs welding/riveting/screwing to the firewall.

I agree about the old style linkage being retarded. Big Grin I'm going to try to convert it to the newer style.

Well if you have in mind the old engines that went with this linkage - carburettor & vacuume-controlled IP; it does make sense to run it that way. But with the directly controlled key-start OM617 - it is sort of retarded to run it across the whole engine Big Grin

Don't know if the US market ever got those cars...!?
