Hi! I´m new here, and in deep..
Bought this car weeks ago, no head or intake manif. in the car. Installed a head, manifold+dist from a 1979 230E. the manif i installed have later version of sensor & distributor made from light alloy but as i can see the car originally came with the cast-iron one. Does that matter?
All parts in place now, found out fuel pump was shot. Found a used pump from w201 2.3 and installed. Now it fires up and dies. Possible that the later pumps do diffirent pressure?
Also I noticed that the crank sensor is broken off, how critical is that?
Spark plugs, wires, cap are new
tank was drained and filled with fresh
Cold start valve is new
Pressure regulator is new
All help appreciated
