    I have a 1974 450Sl and cannot find points/condensor for this car. It has the condensor connected to the points on the inside of the distributor . Is there an electronic conversion for this car? and if so where? Also the heater blower comes on even when I have it selected for off. Could this be the switch or should I look elsewhere? thanks ron in Wisconsin

      I have a 1975 450SL and the blower doesw the same- comes on when the key is turned on even when blower switch is "off". I haven't had a chasnce to investigate (styill tracking down the consistant engine cooling system irregularity.

      The blower motor is factory wired to come on as long as the outside ambiant temp is high enough to activate the control switch. I ran across this on anopther we-site for my 1975 450SL. Can't remember exactly why.

    Am looking for info from somebody that has adjusted the power steering box on an 87 560SL. I just replaced all the tie rods and idler arm bushings and it is still too loose.

    Drop me a line if you have had any success in doing this
