Leon,

Call the folks at Pacific Fuel Injection out in San Francisco. I know some pump cores (like the 250, for instance) are hard to get and I have heard of many incidences of shops claiming not to have ever received the rebuildable unit and have run off with a $300 core. Obviously the diesel pumps are pretty numerous, but you never know. Those guys can work magic! Pacific rebuilt the pump in my 250 Cabrio and did a wonderful job at that. Turnaround was four weeks and the car is running great (and has just turned 14,000 miles!). Pacific's number is (650) 588-8880, ask to speak with Gus.
