k, what are the chances of a IP with 60K original miles being shot? and 2 replacement IPs also being shot? Guy called me to see if I had one and said his MB mechanic has had his car for 8 months (a 78 300CD) claims the IP is shot cause he can't get the car to prime. He has found and bought 2 other IP's and been told those are also bad.

Seems fishy to me.

Car still has the old style primer pump on it...

He's 80 miles south of Atlanta or I would run over and see if I could help him.
