Yup, the tensioner was too high and the chain chewed the guide up. Switched to a 2.6L engine block and cylinder head from a '93 190E and plugged the exhaust port that would go to the air pump. Moved everything over from the 3.0L and got it back in the car. The motor isn't getting fuel. It runs with a can of starter fluid sprayed into the air speed sensor assembly. Tripped the fuel pump to run constantly and took off a fuel line going to injector #1 from the fuel distributor and with the air flap all the way open there is no fuel coming from the top of the opened port on the distributor. There is gas at the fuel inlet port on the distributor. Popping off the EHA shows gas there. I am hoping the distributor hasn't failed all of a sudden after the car sat over the winter in the car port... I tested the voltage at the EHA's connector and show 7v, and on my 190E it shows 13v. Not sure how much of a difference it can make. Any ideas are welcome. Tomorrow I plan on swapping the air speed sensor assemblies between the 300E and my running 190E to see what happens...
