I have started some other threads about an injection pump swap I did on my fathers car, a 1983 240D.

We put a euro motor in the car, and the euro M pump did not have provisions for the automatic transmission VCV so I swapped back to a US Spec MW pump. Got the pump on and timed (I think, something that seemed so simple proved tough).

Now I need to put back on the injecition lines. The lines that were on the euro motor with M pump look very different than the US spec lines. I have a set of US lines from a '79 4speed car.

Neither the '84 euro lines, nor the '79 US lines will fit onto the '84 motor with the '83 pump.

Is it reasonable to have to do some slight bending to the hard lines to get them to fit? We are talking a couple of degrees, not a ton. Like the injector line nut will touch the injector, but not at the right angle to thread up.

I was curious if minor line modifications are normal after changing pumps, or its indicative of me botching the timing job.

Thanks!
