    I bought a '67 Mercedes 250SE sedan (for about half what my new chassis
    cost!) to drive around while the frameover was in progress.

    The MB list I'm on has been most unhelpful so I thought I'd turn to you
    guys and your general wizardry with things automotive.

    Fuel pump recently died on it (bosch mechanical fuel
    injection--petrol--with an electric pump near the tank).

    Replacement: $400

    Obviously I'm loathe to put about 1/3 of what I paid for the thing into a
    new fuel pump. My question is this: can I buy a generic fuel pump?
    I've been told it'll need to generate 22 psi. I believe this is about
    what most fuel-injected cars require and so most generic pups should
    generate it, but I'm not sure.

    Would there be special issues w/ the mechanical injection that would
    require me to put a pressure regulator in the line?

    Anyone want to buy a very cool old mercedes cheap?

    bill
