finding the right fuel pump
I've got to replace a fuel pump on a 1963 220s. A previous owner tried to stop a leak with some epoxy on the outside of the pump.

I am not opposed to putting in an electric pump but I want to go with the most reliable and simple method. What you would recommend? And where do I find it? Thank you |

When I needed a pump for my w110, I couldn't find the pump or even a rebuild kit. I did find a Vaico brand pump that was specified for my car and it was cheap so I thought I would try it.
Bad move. It was a different design, cheaply made, and constantly leaked oil out of the weep hole, although it did work. I ended up putting an electric fuel pump on the car (Carter 5070--about $80, iirc). It works fine but I've had to get used to the noise which is quite noticeable.
