The Black Stallion -- 1987 300D

I (Chad) picked it up in the summer of 2008 and converted it together with Ben's 1980 300TD Wagon... aka, "Clicky-Clack". This is the first 124 series body style that we have in our Co-op, and i really like it.

I went with digital Cyberdyne gauges so that i could have multiple senders on the temperature gauge. This way i can toggle between the temp of the "Griesel Fuel" (GR) at the IP pump and the temp of the GF at the fuel tank (nice, but not necessary information).

The top gauge is the temperature of the GF, the 2nd gauge is the fuel level (as a % left in the tank, showing 38%), and the third is the vac/boost. The vac/boost has proven to be an incredibly useful and important tool for filter performance, analyzing winter conditions on the system (gelling), and if something is awry with one of the valves or the pump. Highly recommended.

The first switch activates the primary grease valve, the second activates the return line valve (between the diesel return and looping back to the IP), the third switch is to activate the Injector Line Heaters (ILH), and the fourth is for toggling between the temp senders.
