[W126 Coupe] REALLY cheap performance upgrade!

[Jonathan Hodgman]

I ran into this Very issue last time I was at the dyno.. I wasn't getting
the numbers that I thought I should and after checking out the linkage it
was found that the last leg leading to the lower butterfly wasn't fully
extending.

If you look at the scan of my run (link below) you will notice rather large
'bump' in the HP/TQ curves @ 3700RPM..this was the fellow at the dyno
pulling the linkage the remainder of the way open.

The two HP/TQ figures are w/ and w/o moving the linkage to it's full stop.

I safety wired the spring loaded piece of the linkage until a few weeks ago
when I bought the arm from the SL (noted this piece was different when
looking at my 86 560SL).

B/w this and pulling the ignition resistor I think quite a few of you will
find some Free HP!
