Picked up a 1993 Mercedes 300SD near home this halloween weekend for $1000. Put a new battery, tightened the loose exhaust manifold bolts, and fixed the valve cover gasket oil leak (someone didnt put it on right :doh, put an cheap intake on it, straight piped it, and adjusted the ALDA slightly. All i can say about this car is my 340k mile f150 can trap faster 60fts than this thing. I have been talking with Dieselmeken and Diesel Pump UK across the pond about getting some 8mm elements for this thing. On top of that I think ill add a hx35 since Im told that it will bolt up to the stock exhaust manifold and still clear fenderwell. I bought the car for the Injection pump in the hopes of finding a OM606 motor and doing a mechanical om606 build. Now on to the business at hand, what would be a adequate injection pump shop to send my pump to have the 8mm elements installed and be bench flow tested. Im in central Illinois so I know there are probably some fairly close ones (TDI gets 50mpg so driving isn't an issue).
