idle speed control is an independent circut of its own, if one was really clever, one could install it to work with K-jet anyway

This might actually be the only option for us K-jet enthusiasts one day, considering the aav's are no longer manufactured or available.

That's a very good point - problem solved (theoretically).

just checked with my collection of EPC's

w116 450 SEL K-jet 4.5 litre upper intake manifolds are the same part number as early w126 500SEL K-jet 5.0 litre engines.

Problem solved - you will have a car to sell.

PB, problem solved you say?!  problem solved? when a merc enters the V manor, it may never completely leave.  you know we will need to do at least one of these bad boys up!
you may enter i told you so know now.
seriously, i think for the price i got it, id rather have the engine and trans 'on the shelf'...hopefully i can sell the body, interior of darkie soon and get the engine out - that damn pulsing makes daily driving a bit annoying.
anyhow, here are some tidier pics of the 500s - diplomatic immunity style in convoy.  please note the chrome entry sills ala Dr WGB, and the bogan like steering wheel !
