Today I ripped apart the passenger side kick panel and floor boards and found the perfect mounting place for my EGR Controller... I hope. Actually it will work, because there was an old Clifford alarm box (red box) stuffed in there that will be eliminated and that space can be utilized if required.



That large silver box on the left is the prominently labeled KE-Jetronic ECU for the 380SL and assuming I can pull that out with no ill effects, the EGR Control unit will drop right in. And if I'm really lucky, I can find the pinouts on the Jetronic and be able to use the power source downstream of the 380SLs OVP (over-voltage protection relay) and not have to wire in the one from the 300D.



For those that come along behind researching or executing a similar project, you might find my colorized vacuum cheat sheet handy for figuring out what's going on. (Full size image attached)
