I have an second fuel injection pump out of my '71 280SL. It's complete but probably in need of a rebuild. What would be an appropriate value of this pump? Thanks from suburban Philadelphia.

It would be great if you can have it tested properly. Because the difference between a pump needing a rebuild, and one that has been tested and is ok, is probably a significant amount. I understand that these rarely need to be rebuilt, so you may be ok with yours. If it is in good shape, I would think it's worth at least around $1,750.

If it is a 24y ESP for a 71 US, the price should not be very high, at least in the EU.
In my experience, it makes no sense to reset a 24y. It is better to buy an EU pump and readjust it because of the changes.
In Europe, this 24y would hardly sell over 500 EUR.
A 24 is double that.
I have had quite a few pumps reset. None of the measured values in the initial protocol were OK after 50 years.
Certainly, almost all of them run somehow.

Peter, whom would you recommend to do a full pump service? My car is a 1963 220SE Cabrio with M127.984 motor (2 piston FIP).
