[W126 Coupe] Landiss, Lambda and O2, my 2 cents!

[jralex at ix.netcom.com]

Dick, Thanks for the tech info.That sort of thing has really made this list so valuble over the years. Thanks to Mike and Dan as well. The Dyno info always recurves my enthusiasm. The best news is about your Son. I think Nathan has two boys(men) over there. I say shut down the media for a while and do it right. Jim Alexander
